Trickett Vaults to the Top

Amit Makhija opened to 115,000 from the cutoff seat, and Samuel Trickett matched the bet, coming along with him from the big blind.

Heads up, the flop came down {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}, and Trickett checked to the raiser. Makhija fired out 140,000, and Trickett didn't waste too much time with the call, and the repeat {10-Spades} dropped on the turn. That drew checks from both players, and the {9-Clubs} completed the board. When Trickett checked a third time, Makhija put out 375,000 across the imaginary betting line. He looked a bit surprised when Trickett announced a check-raise, sliding forward a total of 1.1 million in a tower of green chips. Makhija hemmed and hawed and tanked and eventually called for the majority of his own chips.

Trickett turned up {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} for the full house, and Makhija slowly pushed his cards into the muck, waving goodbye to all but 525,000 of his newly-acquired chips.

Trickett is all the way up to 3.7 million, sitting dead even with Jeff Williams as the chip leaders.
