Lykov Gets Maximum Value Out of the River on the Turn

The small blind checked a {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, and Maxim Lykov checked his big blind. The button bet 2,000, and the small blind called. Then Lykov check-raised to 6,750. After asking Lykov how much he had behind, the button flatted, as did the small blind. The turn brought the {10-Diamonds}, and after the small blind checked, Lykov bet 18,000. That left him with 600 chips, mostly in greens, so he could continue shuffling. The button called all in for just a few chips less, and the small blind slammed his chips down in frustration as he folded.

Showdown
Lykov: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a pair and a flush draw
Button: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for top pair, top kicker

Just in time, the river brought the {7-Spades} to give the reigning EPT Player of the Year trips and the knockout. He;s up to 57,000 now.
