Thanh dat Tran Takes From Makhija

Following an all-heart {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop, it checked to Thanh dat Tran in the cutoff who bet 5,000 (about two-thirds the pot). The big blind folded, but Amit Makhija called from under the gun. The turn brought the {8-Spades} and Makhija checked. Tran bet 5,000 again, and Makhija called.

The river was the {2-Spades} and the pair followed a similar pattern, with Makhija checking, Tran betting — 13,000, this time — and Makhija calling. Tran then showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for the flopped flush, and Makhija mucked.
