Shoaib Makini opened the pot to 45,000 and Mike Eise pushed all in from the small blind.

With only 100,000 behind, Makini made the call for his tournament life tabling {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to be in a race against Eise's {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The flop of {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{J-Spades} seemed safe for Makini, but the {A-Spades} landed on the turn. Makini needed to hit one of the two remaining eights in the deck to stay alive, and would be forced to head to the rail when the {Q-Clubs} landed on the river.

With Makini picking up a handy $18,688 for his efforts, Eise climbs to 1,060,000 in chips.
