Makhija Moves Up
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
We picked up the action on the turn in a heads-up pot between Amit Makhija and David Baker. There was just over 6,000 in the pot when the dealer put the turn card down on the board. Makhija put out a bet of 3,500, and Baker called.
That brought them to the river, and Makhija kept the heat on with another 6,500 chips. Baker took a long time to consider, at one point sliding his headphones off one ear and mumbling something to himself. He had the calling chips in his hand, and he eventually shook his head and dropped them into the pot.
Makhija tabled for the flush, and it was good. Baker looked just a bit frustrated as he spun his cards into the muck, dropping down to about 52,000. Makhija is up to about 47,000.
