Amit Makhija Eliminated

Amit Makhija in action
Amit Makhija in action
Amit Makhija opened to 6,000 from under the gun before an opponent made it 15,000 to go. Makhija moved all in for his last 32,400 and his opponent made the call for his tournament life.

Makhija: {K-?}{K-?}
Opponent: {A-?}{A-?}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and even though Makhija had his opponent covered by 200, he headed to the payout booth to signify the end of his tournament.

Gray Chipping Up

With a raise before, Craig Gray bumped the action preflop with his opponent making the call.

The flop fell down {6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Gray led out for 15,000, only to have his opponent move all in.

Gray called for not much more tabling {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a flush draw against his opponents {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

The {9-Clubs} would fall on the turn to end his opponents tournament, and as the meaningless {5-Diamonds} landed on the river Gray climbed to 162,000 in chips.

Level: 15

Blinds: 1,500/3,000

Kling'D Out

Headed to the rail
Headed to the rail
We unfortunately lost a player as we ticked into dinner break.

Lauren Kling was sent to the rail when her {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts} was unable to outdraw an opponent's {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} with the final board reading {2-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.
