Makhija Hijacked

We imagine there was some raising preflop, but by the time we arrived the flop read {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Amit Makhija on the button was moving all in for around 150,000. His opponent in the small blind called.

Makhija: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for an overpair
Small blind gent: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the nut flush draw

Turn: {9-Hearts} - no change there

River: {4-Clubs} bringing Makhija's opponent the flush

"It's the first big pot I've seen all day," said Makhija, as he headed for the payout desk.
