Rishi Makkar

Rayan Chamas opened to 400,000 from the button, Rishi Makkar moved all in for 1,100,000 from the big blind and Chamas called with the bigger stack.

Chamas: Ks9d
Makkar: AcQh

Makkar was in good shape to double up but had to fade two live cards to get there. Chamas picked up a gutshot straight draw on the Td7d6s flop that turned into a double belly buster on the Jh turn.

The 8h river finished the board, completed the straight for Chamas, and Makkar was eliminated in ninth place.
