Ho Doubles Through Makhija

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Hand #40: Amit Makhija opened for 40,000 from early position and was met by a three-bet to 100,000 by Tuu Ho in the big blind. Makhija took his time before moving all in, and after thinking about it for 30 seconds or so, Ho called off for 441,00.

Ho: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Makhija: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

It was a classic flip, but Ho was slightly ahead and looking to hold. The {q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop kept him in the lead, and the {10-Diamonds} turn did the same, though it gave Makhija added out to a gutshot straight draw. Fortunately for Tuu, the {8-Spades} blanked on the river and he was able to double to approximately 900,000.
