Lykov Losing Ground Fast

[user66118]
[user66118]
Maxim Lykov opened to 1,500 from middle position, and Kent Lundmark three-bet it to 4,500 on the button. The blinds folded back to Lykov, and he flicked in the call to see a flop.

The dealer spread the flop: {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs}, and both men checked in turn. On the turn, the {A-Diamonds} drew another check from Lykov, and he called a bet of 5,500 from Lundmark. The {J-Spades} filled out the board, and Maxim passed again. Lundmark took his time with the decision before sliding out a bet of 8,000. It wasn't a large bet, but it represented about two-thirds of Lykov's remaining stack. He didn't seem to like it, but Lykov eventually made the call getting better than 2.5-to-1 on his money.

Lundmark showed {A-Spades} {4-Spades} for two pair, and Lykov's cards went into the muck. He's dropped all the way back to 5,500 chips, and things aren't looking good for this season's EPT Kyiv winner.

Grace Under Fire

Mads Wissing opened the pot to 1,650 in middle position, and Richard Grace three-bet to 4,200. When it folded back around to Wissing he popped it up further, making it 10,000 straight and adding, "Notice the instant min-raise there." Grace no doubt noticed, and he called the extra few thousand to see a flop.

It came down {2-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}, and Wissing led out with another 10,000 chips. Grace made the smooth call eventually, and the {Q-Clubs} landed on the turn. Wissing let out a noticeably heavy sigh and began to rub his face furiously. He eventually pounded the table once with his closed fist. No theatrics from Grace, he simply tapped the felt behind.

The river brought the {8-Hearts} and another long bout of face rubbing from Wissing. He looked as if he were going to claw his skin off, and he eventually checked with the same heavy-fisted motion as before. Grace looked like he wanted to fire, but he simply said, "I have two jacks."

"You have two jacks?" asked Wissing, sounding terribly surprised. With that, he tabled {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades}, his pair of queens good enough to win him a nice pot.

Grace has slipped back under 90,000 after that loss. He's still healthy, but he'd sure like to have that last pot stacked in his corner as well. He took it in stride though, possibly because he was too busy trying to figure out how he could have won that hand to be frustrated with the outcome.

Lykov No Like

[user46392]
[user46392]
EPT Kiev winner Maxim Lykov has been hovering on roughly his starting stack all day. Just now he took what we think might be his first significant hit of the day, albeit a smallish one. Still, movement is movement.

Lykov raised to 1,800 in the cutoff only to be met with a reraise to 3,600 from the gentleman in the big blind. Lykov called, and they saw a flop.

Flop: {5-Clubs} {J-Spades} {6-Diamonds}

Mr. Big Blind bet out 3,600 and after a few moments' consideration, Lykov called.

Turn: {3-Diamonds}

Mr. BB now bet out 8,500 - and after a much shorter period of thinking about it, Lykov folded.

He's on 25,000 currently.

Thorson Thwarted

[user66118]
[user66118]
Just before the break, we bade farewell to William Thorson. We actually didn't do anything except spot him at the bar, and a quick chat confirms that he has indeed parted with the remainder of his chips.
