Timothy West
Timothy West

Timothy West raised on the button with his short stack and took down the blinds. He was disappointed as he tabled {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}.

The following hand, West raised again, this time in the cutoff and both Lee Markholt and Christoph Kwon called in the blinds.

The dealer spread a flop of {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and Markholt led out with a bet, Kwon quickly folded and West raised. Markholt took some time thinking about his options as he said, "I could have some outs." Before putting in another raise which was enough for West to be all-in when he called.

Timothy West: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Lee Markholt: {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

West had a flush draw but was still behind Markholt's kicker on the ace. The turn brought the {10-Hearts} as West pleaded, "King!, Queen!", asking just for a chop pot but the {2-Diamonds} fell on the river for his six-kicker to be no good. West collected $4,629 for his 24th place finish.
