Prager Survives Against Markholt
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Andrew Greenawalt got it started with a raise to 9,000 from the hijack before Joshua Prager chose to go all-in for 70,000 on the button. Lee Markholt got involved when he called Prager's all-in out of the big blind. Greenawalt got out of the way with a fold.
Joshua Prager: A♥Q♣
Lee Markholt: 10♥10♦
Markholt held on the 2♥5♠9♥ flop, but the 3♠ turn gave Prager some additional outs to a straight.
Prager hit what he needed when the 4♠ came on the river to upgrade him to a straight.
This proved to be a consequential hand for Markholt, who was unable to rebound from the loss. Markholt busted and was seen leaving the tournament area shortly after.
