Amit Finds His Ace

[user66118]

With a raise in front of him, Amit Makhija moved all in for his last 97,000 chips. His opponent thought it over long and hard before making the call with the covering stack, and Makhija was now at risk. And trailing:

Showdown
Makhija: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

Opponent:

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

The flop would find Makhija as it rolled out {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

. The turn and river came safe-safe, the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

and

{8-Hearts}

respectively, and the young pro comes from behind to notch a big double up. He's sitting just under 200,000 chips now with about 20 minutes left in Day 2.
