Lykov Picks Off Gomes

On the final board of {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, Max Lykov checked to Patrik Antonius. He also checked and then Alex Gomes fired 7,100. Lykov made the call while Antonius folded his hand.

"You're good," said Gomes, but Lykov wanted to see his hand. Gomes turned over the {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a busted flush draw before Lykov showed the {5-Spades}{4-Spades} for bottom pair.

Lykov won the pot and moved to 140,000 in chips.
