Max Lykov Eliminated in 13th Place (€15,800)

Max Lykov - 13th Place
Max Lykov - 13th Place
First into the pot from the cutoff seat, Max Lykov came in raising to 55,000. Russell Carson quickly called on the button, and it was heads up the rest of the way.

The flop came out {10-Spades} {2-Spades} {7-Clubs}, and Lykov continued out with a bet of 68,000. Carson wanted to play for more, though, and he stuck in a raise to 195,000 total. Lykov thought it over long and hard before quietly announcing, "All in," and the call from Carson couldn't have come any quicker. The look on his face made it apparent that Lykov knew he was in bad shape, all in and at risk.

Showdown
Lykov: {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
Carson: {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}

Carson's set had Lykov drawing dead to runner-runner help cards, but the dealer would provide no salvation. The {5-Spades} on the turn ended any chance of Lykov's survival, and the {5-Clubs} that filled out the board is the last card Max will see in this event.

It was another fine run for Lykov this week, but his bid to become the first-ever double EPT winner has fallen short in unlucky 13th place.
