Markholt Cracks Kings
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Lee Markholt got the action going with a raise to 7,500 from under the gun. Arthur Tanimoto shipped it from the hijack for 52,500, and was called by Markholt to be at risk.
Arthur Tanimoto: K♦K♣
Lee Markholt: A♣K♠
Tanimoto was in a good position to double. He had to fade the ace, but the ace came in a hurry as the flop came A♥7♠10♠ to vault Markholt into the lead.
The 9♠ turn, and the 7♦ river did not change Tanimoto's fortune as Markholt secured the knockout.
