Hansen Can't Move Makarov

Level 11

Pot-Limit Omaha

It folded around to Alexey Makarov on the button who raised to 8,000, and only Gus Hansen called him from the small blind.

The flop came {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Hansen spread a stack of chips out before him and restacked them a few times -- as he tends to do -- then set out a bet of 12,200. Makarov called. The turn was the {6-Clubs}. Hansen again manipulated his chips a bit, restacked them, then bet 33,300. Makarov called once more.

The river brought the {5-Diamonds}. This time Hansen sat motionless. "Check?" he said, the tone of his voice turning upwards at the end of the syllable in an "are you still here?" kind of way. Makarov took the invitation to bet 38,000, and Hansen instantly mucked his hand.

Makarov moves up to 220,000, while Hansen now has 635,000.
