Lykov Fires the River
Level 7
: Blinds 800/1,500, 1,500 ante
Michel Habib opened to 3,000 on the button and found calls from Maxim Lykov in the small blind and Damir Zhugralin in the big blind.
A round of checks followed the 5♦9♣A♣ flop, with the action repeating after the 2♥ turn.
The dealer revealed the 10♥ river and Lykov fired 15,000 into the middle. Zhugralin folded while Habib announced a call. Lykov turned over A♦Q♥, good enough to claim the pot as Habib mucked.
