After a flop of [8h7d2d], WPT Champions Club member Matt Salsberg checks the big blind, WPT Champions Club member Lee Markholt bets 25,000 from the button, and Salsberg check-raises to 50,000.
Markholt moves all in for 282,000, and Salsberg tanks for a while until somebody calls for a clock. Salsberg calls with [Ks8d] for a pair of eights, but Markholt turns over [10d10h] for an overpair. Markholt needs his hand to hold to stay alive.
The turn card is the [4c], the river card is the [Kd], and Salsberg rivers two pair, kings and eights, to eliminate Markholt in 36th place.
Matt Salsberg – 870,000 (108 bb)
Lee Markholt – Eliminated in 36th Place ($11,865)
