Makaci Holds On
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Franck Makaci and Sergi Reixach were heads up on a board that read 9♠10♥8♠5♣. The pot had already grown to a size of 60,000 chips when Makaci put in 55,000 more from the small blind.
Reixach spent some time thinking under the gun before going all in, covering Makaci's total stack of 80,000. Makaci quickly tossed in his final chip for a call and the cards went on their backs.
Franck Makaci: Q♠Q♣
Sergi Reixach: 9♥7♥
Makaci's overpair was in the lead, but Reixach had a plethora of outs to hit. They did not arrive on the 5♦ river, however, and Makaci celebrated his double-up while Reixach was moved to another table.
