Markholt Secures Double
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
An opponent limped from early position before Lee Markholt chose to shove for 18,500 from late position. His opponent called to put Markholt at risk.
Lee Markholt: A♦J♠
Opponent: 8♥7♥
Both players caught a piece on the 5♥A♠7♦ flop, but Markholt caught a bigger piece with a pair of aces.
The 9♦ turn was a scare card for Markholt as it gave his opponent some outs to a straight, but the 4♠ river was safe to awrd Markholt the pot.
