Hand #52 -

Andy Bloch has the button in Seat 5. Amit Makhija raises to 175,000 and after asking for a count from him Bloch raises to 415,000, enough to put Makhija all in. He calls. There is about 875,000 in the pot.

Makhija {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Bloch {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The flop is {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, the turn is the {4-Clubs}, the river is the {A-Diamonds}, and Amit Makhija is eliminated in fifth place. He earns $198,528 for his finish.

Mike Sexton has the button in Seat 6. Andy Bloch opens for 125,000, Sexton raises to 425,000 and Bloch re-pots to 1.35 million, sending Sexton into the tank. He ultimately folds, and Bloch takes down the 800,000 pot.

Before play resumed World Series Media Director Nolan Dalla took the mike and addressed the crowd. He said that Stu Ungar, whose name is such a part of World Series of Poker lore and who did so much to make the WSOP what it is today, passed away nearly ten years ago. Nolan then introduced Madeline Ungar, Stuey's former wife, who is sitting in the front row. As she stood, Mike Sexton, a longtime friend of Stuey's, gave her a hug as the crowd gave her a big ovation.
