Makhija and Wasserson Play a Big One
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
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 
and Wasserson led out for 200,000. Makhija called. The turn was the 
and both players checked to the 
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 
for two pairs, kings and eights, and Wasserson took one more look at his cards before tossing them into the muck.
