Makhija Escapes

There was around 85,000 in the pot when we arrived - we think the player in mid position raised and then called a reraise from Amit Makhija on the hijack - and a flop reading 
. The mid-position player checked and it actually wasn't clear whether Makhija had gone all in or merely bet 50,000 with 55,000 behind - either way, the TV cameras descended on the table as Makhija's opponent tanked up, all the pressure in the world on him. Eventually he folded, and Makhija mock-wiped some imaginary sweat off his brow as he increased his stack to 190,000.
