Snowmen No Good for Lykov

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Catching the action after what appeared to be a three-bet from the cutoff to 1,300, we found Maxim Lykov four-betting the small blind to 2,750. The cutoff made the call, and on the {Q-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop Lykov continued for 1,875. His opponent thought for a few moments before making the call as the {Q-Spades} rolled off on the turn.

Both players took their time contemplating a decision before eventually tapping the table as the {3-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Lykov slid out a bet amounting to 5,750 and his opponent made the call.

Lykov tabled his {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}, but it would be his opponent's {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} that would see him earn the pot as Lykov slipped to 10,000 in chips.
