Nikolay Evdakov on Day 1

We join a three-handed pot in progress as the dealer spread out a flop of {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

. Big blind Albert Iverson checked, and Maxim Lykov made a bet of 3,300 from the cutoff seat. On the button, Nikolay Evdakov put in the call while Iverson quickly ducked out of the way.

Heads up now, the turn card came the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

to pair the board. Lykov passed this time, and he would eventually call a bet of 6,000 from Evdakov. The last card off was the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

, and Lykov checked again. Evdakov slid another 7,000 chips into the pot, and his opponent would ponder carefully before making the call. Evdakov tabled {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

, and his king-high flush was the winner.

That pot lifts the Russian up to 69,000.
