According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Markholt had a 45.50% chance of winning the hand. He watched that drop to 22.22% when the 
flop missed him completely, and that was essentially cut in half when the 
appeared on the turn. Markholt needed either an ace or queen on the river to extend his tournament life, but it wasn't in the cards as the 
blanked.
