Russians Collide

A series of preflop raises saw PokerStars Team Pro Russia member Maxim Lykov all in for around 25,000 against Vladimir Shchemelev, who barely had him covered.

Lykov: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Shchemelev: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

Lykov was in great shape and looking to dodge an ace, but the {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop was disastrous and left him drawing dead. The meaningless {7-Diamonds} turn and {J-Spades} river were run out for good measure as the Team Pro paid his massage therapist and made his way to the rail.
