Amit Makhija Picks Off a Bluff
John Phan raised on the button to 235,000 and Amit Makhija called from the big blind. The flop came K102 and Makhija checked.
Phan bet 200,000 and Makhija made the call. The turn was the 5 and Makhija checked again. Phan bet 345,000 and Makhija called.
The river wass the 4 and Makhija checked. Phan bet 400,000 and after some thought, Makhija made the call. Phan then said, "King is good," and didn't show his hand. Makhija turned over his K9 and took a big pot that put him over the 7,000,000 in chips mark.
Phan takes a big hit to his stack and currently sits in third place.
