Don't Mess With Dovzhenko

Alexander Dovzhenko opened the pot with a raise to what appeared to be 110,000 under the gun, and he found action only from big blind Maxim Lykov.

Heads-up then, the flop came out {2-Spades}

. Max Lykov led out into the pot with a bet of 135,000, and Dovzhenko mulled it over for a minute before making the call. The turn card brought the {J-Spades}

and another bet from Lykov, 255,000 this time. Dovzhenko looked a bit more pained this time, but he eventually made the call.

The last card off the deck was the {4-Diamonds}

, and Lykov stacked out 275,000 and slid them forward. His opponent would think long and hard before announcing a call.

Lykov sheepishly tabled {K-?}
