Markholt Rivers Flush

Four players committed 625 preflop - including Lee Markholt - to see a {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop fall.

The original raiser continued with a 2,550-chip bet only to have one player move all in for 10,150 before Markholt followed suit for his last 3,800.

The fourth player in the hand check-folded as the original raiser made the call.

Markholt: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Original Raiser: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The {10-Hearts} landed on the turn to put one of the all in players in the lead, but then Markholt struck gold when the {8-Clubs} landed on the river to see him make the nut flush and double more than triple through to 15,100 in chips.
