Markholt Halted

Lee Markholt called Bret Forsberg's all-in preflop with pocket sixes. He was up against Forsberg's pocket eights. Forsberg really wanted to double up and chanted, "No six, no six, no six!"

Markholt couldn't come from behind on the flop, turn, or river and Forsberg's eights held up.

"That's right, baby, down to 2,700 the first hour of the first day," claimed Forsberg. "Get used to me!"

While Forsberg went on, Markholt just sat there with his fingers in his ears, not wanting to hear the banter. After he removed them, Forsberg said, "Yeah, it's over."

Markholt is down to 8,025 and Forsberg up to 22,000.
