Markholt Out

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Faraz Jaka raised to 7,500 from the cutoff seat, and Lee Markholt reraised to 29,000 from the small blind with 21,800 behind. Jaka tanked for a bit, and then moved all in. Markholt called.

Jaka tabled the {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, but his hand was dominated by the {A-Spades}{J-Spades} for Markholt. The flop came down {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and gave Jaka, the lead, though, and then the {7-Spades} on the turn and {Q-Spades} on the river completed the board.
