Makarov Makes a Move, Busts at Hansen's Hands

Pot-Limit Omaha

When we reached Table 287, there was already over 100,000 in the middle and the flop had fallen {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Alexey Makarov moved all in for 75,000, Gus Hansen grabbed a huge stack of T25,000 chips and tossed them forward, and Ashton Griffin got out of the way.

Makarov: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Hansen: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Hansen held a monster draw, and turned a flush when the {9-Spades} hit the felt. Makarov was drawing dead.

The {3-Diamonds} completed the board, Makarov hit the rail, and Hansen is now up to 795,000 chips.
