Lee Markholt: 10♦10♣ All in
Casey Mccarrel: A♦K♣

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Joshua Prager opened to 200,000 from under-the-gun and was called by Terrance Reid in the cutoff, Lee Markolt in the small blind, and Casey McCarrel in the big blind.

On the flop 6♣7♠4♥, the blinds checked and Prager continued for 400,000, which was called only by Reid to send them to a heads-up 4♦ turn.

The action then went check-check and they went to the river 7♣. Prager checked to Reid, who fired for 925,00 and Prager tossed in a call chip.

Reid then rolled over 7♥8♥ for a full house and Prager instantly mucked to award him the huge pot.
