Dovzhenko Draws Even

With the action folded around to the blinds, Maxim Lykov raised it up to 85,000 from the small. In the big, Alexander Dovzhenko eventually made the call to see a heads-up flop.

It came out {K-Spades}

, and both players checked. Fourth street brought the {10-Clubs}

and a bet of 110,000 from Lykov. Without any delay, Dovzhenko put in the call.

The river came the {10-Spades}

, and Lykov quickly checked again. Dovzhenko stacked out 300,000 of his new orange T25,000 chips and flung them across the line messily. Lykov cut the calling chips out of his stack and gave his opponent a good long look. After a minute or so, he made the call to put Dovzhenko to the test.

The Ukrainian tabled {Q-Spades}

for the flush, and Lykov returned his cards to the muck. After that big exchange, the gap has been almost completely close between the two chip leaders.

Lykov - 2,112,000
Dovzhenko - 2,102,000
