Markholt Knocked Out by Helppi
Level 18
: Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Howard Mann raised from early position, Lee Markholt called in middle position and Juha Helppi three-bet from the big blind. Both players made the call. The flop came out J♠A♣10♥ and Helppi bet, Mann folded and Markholt moved all of his remaining chips into the pot. Helppi called.
Lee Markholt: Q♠J♦ 
Juha Helppi: Q♥Q♦
The turn brought the 9♥ and the river Q♣ sealed Markholt's fate and gave Helppi a new healthier stack.
