Adam Markovits 23rd Place

Mike "Timex" McDonald raised to 29,000 and Adam Markovits called; they saw a {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

flop.

Timex bet out 45,000, and Markovits attempted to less-than-minimum raise. He was put right and was directed to put 90,000 in the middle. TImex, however, now announced all in, and after a few minutes of unhappy consideration, Markovits folded.

A few hands later, and Markovits got involved again, this time seeing a {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

flop with chip leader Georgios Kapalas. Markovits checked and Kapalas bet, and now a possibly steaming Markovits check-raised all in. Call. On their backs.

Markovits: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

for top pair
Kapalas: {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

for second pair and a flush draw

Turn: {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

River:

{7-Clubs}

Thus we lose our first casualty of the day.
