Makkar Triples Up
Nível 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Rishi Makkar open-jammed his last 150,000 chips into the middle from the hijack. Roni Tal raised to 300,000 from the cutoff and Menahem Asher called 300,000 from the big blind.
With one player all in for a side pot, Tal fired 450,000 on a 5♦10♦4♥ flop but Asher mucked his cards.
Rishi Makkar: K♦7♦5♠5♣ 
Roni Tal: A♥Q♦J♣2♦
The board ran out 9♥10♣ and Makkar's set of fives improved to a boat on the river. He tripled up to give him new life in the tournament.
