Lee Markholt Triples Up

[user37786]

Razz:

Lee Markholt caught a seven on sixth street to make a seven low, good enough to beat Jim Bechtel and "Miami" John Cernuto in a three-way pot. The good news is that Markholt tripled up. The less good news is that he still has just 17,500.

Level: 9

Blinds: 0/0

Ante: 0
