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.
