Fireworks!
We missed the first raise from James Carroll, and we picked up the action just as Amit Makhija was sticking in a three-bet to 153,000 straight. Carroll promptly four-bet to 331,000, committing about a third of his stack to the pot. Makhija tank-shoved, and Carroll snap-called all in for his last 904,000.
Showdown
Makhija:
Carroll:
The board was a lot of red, but not enough diamonds as it ran out to hold Carroll's aces. He's doubled his way up into a challenge for the chip lead with close to 1.9 million. Makhija, on the other hand, is now the short stack with just 280,000.
