Somerville Sinks Markowitz

Ricky Markowitz pushed all in for his last 450,000 or so from middle position and it folded around to Jason Somerville in the blinds who called with only a few chips more. Markowitz turned over {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, but Somerville had woken up with {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and after a quick check to ensure Somerville indeed had Markowitz covered, Markowitz wished his table mates good luck, shaking each player's hand before heading to the cashier's desk with his 111th-place ticket.
