Amak Crushed

Amit Makhija and Michael Pesek got all the money in preflop. Makhija held the most chips and the best hand with the {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. Pesek held the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

The flop came down {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and kept Makhija in the lead. The {Q-Spades} on the turn changed all of that though and delivered PEsek's two-outer for the time being. The river completed the board with the {J-Hearts} and ended the hand.

Pesek was all in for 22,625 preflop and now has about 45,000. Makhija was left with under 4,000 in chips.
