Max Lykov Eliminated in 4th Place (€290,000)
Level 29
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Max Heinzelmann opened to 200,000 from the button, Xuan Liu then reraised to 490,000 from the small blind but then Max Lykov 4-bet to 925,000.
Heinzelmann quickly got out of the way but Liu took a lot longer, gauging the Russian's stack she finally declared, "All in."
Lykov nodded, "I call."
Liu:
Lykov:
There was no help for either player on the flop but the turn was greeted by a mixture of cheers and groans from those in the theatre, Liu and Lykov remained emotionless. The came on the river and Lykov's dream of being the first double champion died, cruelly outdrawn after a cold decked hand. Liu overtakes Elder as the chip leader.
