McCorkell/Markin Sparring

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

It's been fairly quiet recently on this High Roller final table. The first three-bet in a while came courtesy of Craig McCorkell, who made it 240,000 on the button after Leonid Markin had raised to 80,000 from under-the-gun/cutoff. Markin gave it a good couple of minutes before folding.

The next hand saw McCorkell raised to 80,000 and Markin call in the big blind. The two checked a board of {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs} down to the river where Markin showed {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs} but McCorkell won with {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.

The two were then involved in a blind-on-blind battle, Markin raising to 80,000 and McCorkell calling. The Russian won with a 135,000 bet on the {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} flop.
