Stalling for a Table Redraw
One of the toughest tables in the field today is that of Aaron Jones, Kevin Vandersmissen, Jessie Sylvia, Maxim Lykov, Amanda Musumeci, and Daniel Dipasquale. Coincidentally Aaron Jones was just telling some of his tablemates a story about how one year when he was playing the Main Event players were stalling in order to get table breaks for easier table draws. Unfortunately, there will be no stalling in today's event as everyone will remain at the same table the entire day.
While the story telling was going on Maxim Lykov was involved in a hand with Steve Hohn. With the board reading 
, Lykov checked to Hohn. Hohn bet out 4,000 which Lykov called.
On the 
river, Lykov checked again. Hohn counted out a bet of 10,000 and placed it in front of him. Lykov thought about it for a while, but decided to fold, giving the pot to Hohn. Fortunately for Lykov he is still above where he started on the day with more than 50,000 chips.
