Makhija and Wasserson Play a Big One

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Eric Wasserson
Eric Wasserson

Amit Makhija raised to 70,000 from the cutoff and Eric Wasserson put in a three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind. Makhija paused for a moment and called.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Wasserson led out for 200,000. Makhija called. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {k-Hearts} on the river.

Wasserson took his time and eventually fired out a bet of 580,000. Makhija asked for a count and, after a minute, he threw in a pile of chips to call.

"You got it," said Wasserson. Makhija tabled {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for two pairs, kings and eights, and Wasserson took one more look at his cards before tossing them into the muck.
