River Bet Good

Peter Traply raised to 80,000 and Maxim Lykov called. They both checked the flop and the turn to give us a {J-Spades}

board at the river. Lykov bet 150,000 and Traply folded.

The Big Two Go At It

MarcC

Peter Traply raised from the button and Andrew Lichtenberger called from the big blind. The flop came {7-Diamonds}

before Lichtenberger bet 132,000. Traply called so the turn came {6-Hearts}

where Lichtenberger bet 260,000 after a good think. Traply had a good think back and called.

The river {A-Hearts}

sees Lichtenberger check this time to face a 485,000 bet from Traply. Lichtenberger folds and with that gives up the chip lead.

The Hungarian railers, who have been quiet of late, erupt in to cheers and whistles.

Slowly but surely Lykov is edging nearer to his opponents.
