Aces Cracked Sends Makonen to the Rail
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
There was a limp before Alemu Makonen raised 270,000 in the cutoff. Rajendara Dhar made the call from the small blind and the limper mucked his hand.
The dealer spread a flop of Q?5?2? and Dhar bet the maximum of 750,000. Makonen called.
Before the 7? turn hit the felt, Dhar already shoved a stack across the line, putting Makonen to test for all of his chips. Makonen had about 700,000 remaining and made the call.
Alemu Makonen: A?A?10?8? 
Rajendara Dhar: A?Q?8?5?
Makonen had aces and the nut flush draw but couldn't pull ahead of Dhar's two pair as the 3? landed on the river.
