Domenico Lannone has just put Max Lykov to the test and he passed with flying colours. It was your classic blind on blind battle. There was 60,000 in the pot by the time we got there and the flop was 
. Lykov had to check-call three streets of pressure from Lannone in the big blind. The flop bet was 21,000, the turn bet was 45,000 and the river bet was 85,000. Lykov thought long and hard about the call on the river and when he said "call," Lannone immediately mucked his cards. Lykov scooped the pot without revealing his hand.
Lykov ~ 580,000
