Makiievskyi Trending Up

2011 November Niner Anton Makiievskyi has been steadily accumulating chips over the past few levels, and is now closing in on the 200,000-chip mark.

In a recent hand, Team PokerStars Pro Jude Ainsworth opened to 3,500, Manny Jo called on the button, and Makiievskyi three-bet to 9,000 from the big blind. Ainsworth released, Jo called, and the dealer fanned {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Makiievskyi led for 14,000, and Jo called.

Both players checked after the {k-Hearts} turned, and the {10-Diamonds} completed the board. Makiievskyi fired five blue T5,000 chips, and Jo quickly mucked.
