Makkar Making Comeback

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Down to less than 10,000 in chips a level earlier, Gaurav Makkar's fortune has turned, with him knocking two players out of the tournament. Alexander Kartveli was the latest victim.

Kartveli went all in with the board already complete with 574610 on display. Makkar made the call and showed 85 for an eight-high straight.

The dealer inadvertently mucked Kartveli's hand without showing.
