To the Max

Max Lykov has been having a fine old time since he burst on to the scene last summer, coming third in the WSOP $5,000 Shootout and, of course, taking the top spot at EPT Kyiv. He came 13th at EPT Snowfest, came fifth in the €5,000 Heads Up event at Monte Carlo, and had three respectable cashes at this year's WSOP.

Although he is not among our chip leaders, Lykov has been steadily grinding all day and is now up to 52,000. Most recently we witnessed him take down a pretty big pot with a 6,250 bet in mid position on a {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts} board. His opponent on the button folded and looked rather dejected about it. 52,000 is right about average now, and it wouldn't surprise us if he goes on to make a deep run in this here EPT.
