Friedman Busted by Markholt

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The pot was opened with a raise by a player under the gun before Prahlad Friedman moved all in from middle position for about 10,000. Lee Markholt was sitting to his direct left and reraised all in for 19,075. The original raiser got out of the way and the hands were turned up.

Friedman: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Markholt: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Right in the window, Markholt hit a set. The board ran out {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Friedman was sent to the rail.
