[Removed:197] opened for 5,200 and Paul Valkenburg made it 14,800 to go. Claudio Piceci flat-called in the big blind and the action moved back to [Removed:198] - who re-popped for 200,000 to cover them both.

He cut down his stacks to see what he was working with and made the big call."Nice call," said Caramatti, knocking the table. When Lykov didn't show, he said, "King-high," and paused again.
