Shon Mekyten Bluffs Lee Markholt

With the board showing [10d8d4cQd] on the turn and more than 600,000 already in the pot, Shon Mekyten (right) checks from the small blind, and Lee Markholt (left) checks the cutoff.

The [Qc] follows on the river and Mekyten shoves all in. Markholt tanks for a bit but decides to fold. As he collects the pot Mekyten flips over [AhJh] for the ace-high bluff.

"I almost got broke buddy," says Markholt after the hand. "I was ready," replies Mekyten. Mekyten is over 1.5 million after the hand and Markholt drops to 1.2 million.

Shon Mekyten  –  1,560,000  (65 bb)
Lee Markholt  –  1,200,000  (50 bb)
