	Bio: Just after graduating from the University of Minnesota Amit Makhija dove straight into his poker career. In his first year on the tour he had 12 cashes, including 5 final tables. In 2008 Amit took 5th at the WSOP $10,000 Pot Limit Hold'em Championship and then went on to take 2nd at the WPT Legends of Poker. His first big win came in late 2008 online in the $5200 FTOPS event where he took down the $550,000 first place prize. When Amit isn't at the tables he spends his time blogging for PokerRoad, working out and socializing with his other poker playing roommates.
