Makhija Makes the Fold

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Amit Makhija, who finished 47th in the 2012 Main Event, opened to 25,000 from the hijack seat. Nicolas Le Floch three-bet to 72,000 out of the big blind, Makhija tank-called, and Le Floch led out for 67,000 on a flop of {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Makhija called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}, Le Floch tossed out another 175,000, and Makhija called.

A repeat nine - the {9-Spades} - completed the board, and Le Floch emptied the chamber moving all in for 416,000. Makhija took a sip of his beer, and Le Floch toasted him from across the table with his own beer bottle.

"You show if I fold?" Makhija asked Le Floch, who buried his head in the rail.

A minute or so passed.

"You show if I fold?" Makhija repeated.

Le Floch refused to respond, but when Makhija finally folded, Le Floch showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for a full house.

"I'm more interested in his hand," Bryan Pellegrino said afterwards, pointing to Makhija. "Sick fold anyway."
