Structure
Level 10:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining:  64 of 145

TK Miles and Sam Soverel and Lee Markholt
From left to right: TK Miles, Sam Soverel, and Lee Markholt

T.K. Miles moved all in from the hijack for 48,000, Sam Soverel called from the cutoff, and Lee Markholt tanked for a while on the button before he moved all in over the top for 113,000.

Soverel asked for an exact count, and with 68K behind in his own stack, Soverel had Markholt covered by just 3K. Soverel tanked for a while before he folded.

Miles showed QsQd, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against Markholt’s JhJc.

The board came Ah8d3c8hKd, and the pocket queens held up for Miles to win the pot and triple up in chips.

T.K. Miles  –  157,000  (31 bb)
Sam Soverel  –  68,000  (14 bb)
Lee Markholt  –  65,000  (13 bb)

With 64 players remaining from a field of 145, the average chip stack is about 227,000 (45 big blinds). Action is scheduled to continue tonight until the end of Level 15, around 12:30 am.
