Two Makhija Hands

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player in mid-position shoved for just over 13,000 and Amit Makhija called in the big blind.

Mid-position: {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Amit Makhija: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for Makhija to hold with the higher kicker to eliminate his opponent.

Simon Deadman was on the same table and was kind enough to relate that Makhija had tripled up earlier when Caesar Claudio limped in for 1,200, Makhija did the same and Dmitry Yurasov decided to raise to 4,800. Claudio called and Makhija shoved for 40,000. Yurasov called and now Claudio shoved for 200,000. Yurasov now folded his {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. Makhija had {7-}{7-} and Claudio held {9-}{9-}. The flop came {7-}{2-}{3-} for Makhija to flop a set and stay alive.
