Max Lykov raised to 175,000 from the button and Dror Michaelo made it 425,000 from the big blind which Lykov called to see a flop.
Michaelo led out for 600,000 and after some contemplation, Lykov made the call. The turn was the and Michaelo continued the aggression with another bet of 600,000 which again the Russian called.
The river was the and Michaelo tanked before checking and Lykov instantly checked back. Michaelo turned over but Lykov scooped a huge pot with to increase his chip lead further.
Maxim Lykov raised on the button to 175,000 and Dror Michaelo called from the big blind. Both players checked after the flop came and again after the turn brought the . When the hit on the river Michaelo checked again and Lykov tossed out a stack of green T25,000 chips totaling around 250,000 but we couldn't even get an accurate count as Michaelo quickly folded and the pot was shipped to Lykov.
On the next hand, Michaelo raised to 240,000 from the small blind and Lykov called. The flop came and Michaelo bet 300,000. Lykov then asked Michaelo how many chips he had behind and after Michaelo moved back to allow Lykov to view his stack Lykov folded his hand.
It appears that Dror Michaelo is getting a little antsy. In one hand, Warren Wooldridge raised to 180,000 from the small blind and Michaelo pushed all in for over 3,000,000 from the big blind eliciting a fold from Wooldridge.
Not long after that hand, Maxim Lykov raised to 175,000 on the button and Michaelo shipped his whole stack in again prompting Lykov to fold.
If he continues to make big moves we could see another double up or elimination soon but only time will tell.
It certainly seems that Max Lykov doesn't intend to wait for the other two players to knock each other out, he's going after both of them at the moment..
During the last level Warren Wooldridge raised to 180,000 on the button and Max Lykov made it 415,000 in the big blind. Wooldridge thought about it for a minute before electing to make the call to see a flop. Lykov studied the board carefully before betting 340,000 and Wooldridge quickly gave it up.
As the level went up, Wooldridge raised to 250,000 and Lykov made the call to see a flop. Lykov led out for 290,000 and Wooldridge made the call, but when the chip leader bet 530,000 on the turn, the Englishman quickly folded his hand to some scattered cheers from members of the watching Russian rail.
Maxim Lykov raised to 225,000 from the button and Dror Michaelo called from the big blind. The flop came and after Michaelo checked, Lykov bet 250,000. Michaelo then thought for a bit before putting out a large raise to 800,000. Lykov almost instantly declared he was all in and Michaelo went into the tank. He eventually released his hand and Lykov added to his chip lead.
Warren Wooldridge check-called a bet of 200,000 on a flop before also checking the turn. Michaelo then moved all-in for 1,765,000 and it sent the Englishman deep into the tank. He took five minutes counting out his chips and thinking whether or not to make a call that would leave him with around 500,000 left should he be wrong.
Finally Wooldridge gave it up, but with Michaelo content to play very big pots, there is going to be some serious chip movement soon, perhaps even before the dinner break.
