Amit Makhija is a 23-year-old online player from Wisconsin who plays under the name "Amak316." He's been playing poker professionally for the past three years, and he's already had quite a bit of success, with $340,000 in live tournament earnings.
Makhija's biggest score came this past summer, when he finished fifth in the first event of the 2008 WSOP, $10,000 World Championship Pot-Limit Hold'em, earning nearly $200,000. It was a televised event, packed with famous world-class players like Patrik Antonius, Mike Sexton, Kathy Liebert, Andy Bloch, Phil Laak, and eventual winner Nenad Medic. So Makhija has played under the bright lights of a televised final table before, and held his own against the best.
