Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A player from early position raised to 8,000 and was called in the next seat over. Lee Markholt chose to jam for 58,000 from the big blind, which resulted in a fold from the original raiser. The second player to enter the pot called to put Markholt at risk.
Lee Markholt: A♣Q♣
Opponent: A♠J♦
Markholt's hand was in good position to double up, and the flop kept up the status quo as it fanned out 3♥9♠4♦ to keep Markholt in the lead. The 8♠ turn and the 10♦ river completed the board and kept Markholt in the tournament.
