Markholt Takes Out Short Stack

Lee Markholt doesn't have a world of chips himself, so he must have relished the chance to take out an even shorter stack just before his table was moved from the Brasilia Room to the Amazon Room. After Gabe Walls opened from late position for 5,000, the short stack moved all in for 22,500. Markholt then over-shoved from the small blind for about 75,000. That reraise folded Walls.

Button: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Markholt: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Board: {8-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}

Markholt added the button's chips to his own, making a stack of about 100,000 chips that he dropped into a chip bag for the journey to the Amazon Room.
