Set for Makhija Sends Peterson Packing

Amit Makhija raised to 45,000 from middle position, then Marcel Luske called from the hijack seat. It folded to Wayne Peterson who reraised all in for 276,000 from the button. The blinds stepped aside, Makhija reraised all in over the top, and Luske folded.

Makhija: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Peterson: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Peterson had the preflop edge, but when the flop came {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} he was suddenly way behind. The turn was the {A-Hearts} and river the {3-Spades}, and Peterson is out.
