Amit Winning Some Chips

When we arrived at Amit Makhija's table there was already a {5-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts} board on the felt and a sizable pot building with Makhija going up against one opponent. Makhija was on the button and bet 25,000 when his opponent checked. The player thought for a long time before making the call, which prompted Makhija to table {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. His opponent showed a {5-Diamonds} and slid his cards into the muck as Makhija scooped up the pot.
