Plichta Doesn't Want a Flop

Max Lykov opened with a cutoff raise to 95,000, and Alexander Dovzhenko called from the button. Small blind Vitaly Tolokonnikov came along as well, but big blind Lucasz Plichta wanted to play for more. He squeezed it up to 440,000, and the involved players folded rather quickly in turn.

Plichta showed pocket jacks, but it was an extremely effective play regardless of what he held. That win improves his stack by about 30%, bumping him up to 1,353,000.
