Makhija Dominated But Doubles

[user67765]

Alexander Morozov had recently folded to a few three-bet raises pre-flop, so after his 14,000 chip was once again raised all in by Amit Makhija, he felt like he needed to make a stand.

"I had this hand last time and I folded, but this time I think I should call," pondered Morozov. The bet was 89,000 in total and eventually Morozov went with his read and made the call, flipping {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

. Makhija showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

and was in trouble.

However the flop came {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

and Makhija made a miraculous two pair to out-flop Morozov. The turn was the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

and river

{9-Hearts}

, and Morozov took an ugly hit as Makhija doubled to close to 200,000 in chips.
