Small Pots for Markholt

Lee Markholt is slowly chipping up on Table 3, a table which now includes Daniel Alaei. On back-to-back hands, Markholt took down pots that were contested by one opponent -- the same player in both cases. In the first hand, Markholt was the aggressor on the flop, the turn checked, and Markholt's river bet was uncalled. In the second hand, it was Markholt calling the flop, the turn checking, and then Markholt taking it down with an uncalled river bet.

In this first level, most of the pots that have gone past the flop have been averaging about 1,500 to 2,000 chips. We won't be seeing much stack movement for a while.
