Big Stacks in the Blinds

Maxim Lykov and Alexander Dovzhenko together have nearly 6.4 million of the nearly 8.9 million chips in play. Not surprising, then, to see the rest of the table fold to the pair in the blinds, where Lykov limped in from the small and Dovzhenko checked from the big.

The flop came {7-Clubs}

. Lykov bet 50,000, and Dovzhenko called. The turn was the {3-Spades}

. This time Lykov bet 110,000, and again Dovzhenko called.

The river brought the {K-Clubs}

and yet another bet from Lykov, this time 100,000. Dovzhenko quickly called. Lykov showed A-7 for a pair of sevens, while Dovzhenko showed 8-5 for eights and the better pair.

Dovzhenko has 4.22 million right now, and Lykov 2.166 million.
