With the action folded to the blinds, Maxim Lykov limped in and then called a raise from big blind Alexander Dovzhenko.

With just two to the flop, the dealer spread out {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{8-?}

{2-?}

, and both players checked. They would do the same on the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

turn before the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

hit the river. Lykov elected to lead out with a bet of 200,000, and Dovzhenko went through a long period of deep thought before putting in the call.

Lykov tabled {10-?}

{10-?}

{2-?}

for two pair, and it was the winner. Dovzhenko mucked his cards after paying off that value bet, and the pot goes to the Russian.
