Amit Makhija's Running Good

Shortly after Eric "'Rizen" Lynch eliminated Vanessa Rousso he was himself knocked out by Amit Makhiia. After Lynch raised and Makhija called they saw an A-A-Q flop. As Lynch held QQ and Makhija A-K, you'll understand why the money was shortly in the middle. A five fell on the turn and on the river...a King, giving Makhija a bigger full house and the pot. "Rizen" was eliminated and Makhija now has 162,000.
