Dehydration of 3-hexanol

How come when 3-hexanol is dehydrated only 2-hexene and 3-hexene are formed, but not 1-hexene? Is this something to do with Markovnikov's rule?

How would you get hex-1-ene, I don't see how this would work, the H atom is too far away

Ok I get it now, since the OH is on the third carbon, the only double bonds that can form are between 2nd and 3rd carbon (2-hexene) and between 3rd and 4th carbon (3-hexene). Thank you UG!
