Jonathan Markham opened with an early position raise to 36,000. Action passed around to Joe Bartholdi, and he put in a reraise to 100,000. Markham moved all in, and Bartholdi slumped down in his chair. He asked for a count, and as the dealer was cutting down the chips, Bartholdi smirked and said, "This is gonna be ugly." The total count for Markham was 240,000, and Bartholdi did indeed make the call.

Markham tabled {K-Diamonds}

, very far ahead of Bartholdi's {9-Diamonds}

.

The flop brought a nine, but the rest of the board ran out bare: {7-Diamonds}

. With a big clap of his hand and a loud, "Yes!" Markham has doubled up to a half-million chips.

The play is excruciatingly slow to start off the day, with very few big pots being played.

We did have one big battle just fought at Table 151 though. Joe Bartholdi raised it up from the cutoff seat, and Shawn Glines three-bet from the small blind. Bartholdi shoved, and Glines called all in for 555,000 total.

Showdown
Bartholdi: {8-?}

Glines:

The board ran {A-Diamonds}

, giving Glines the winning trips and doubling him up over 1.1 million.
