Wooldridge Makes Big Push of His Own

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Warren Wooldridge called a bet of 250,000 on a flop of {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} against Max Lykov in a blind on blind battle. Lykov continued the agression by betting 375,000 on the {J-Hearts} turn, Wooldridge counted his stack and appeared to be debating a call but suddenly decared he was all in for 1,755,000 more.

Lykov didn't instantly fold but thought about it for a minute or two before he did give up the hand to cries of, "Too much!" from the English rail.

No Dinner Here

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Players have unanimously decided to skip the scheduled 60-minute dinner break and will instead take a 20-minute break at the end of this level and then continue play.

Michaelo Makes Another Big Move

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Warren Wooldridge check-called a bet of 200,000 on a {J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop before also checking the {K-Hearts} turn. Michaelo then moved all-in for 1,765,000 and it sent the Englishman deep into the tank. He took five minutes counting out his chips and thinking whether or not to make a call that would leave him with around 500,000 left should he be wrong.

Finally Wooldridge gave it up, but with Michaelo content to play very big pots, there is going to be some serious chip movement soon, perhaps even before the dinner break.

Michaelo Missteps

Maxim Lykov raised to 225,000 from the button and Dror Michaelo called from the big blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and after Michaelo checked, Lykov bet 250,000. Michaelo then thought for a bit before putting out a large raise to 800,000. Lykov almost instantly declared he was all in and Michaelo went into the tank. He eventually released his hand and Lykov added to his chip lead.

It certainly seems that Max Lykov doesn't intend to wait for the other two players to knock each other out, he's going after both of them at the moment..

During the last level Warren Wooldridge raised to 180,000 on the button and Max Lykov made it 415,000 in the big blind. Wooldridge thought about it for a minute before electing to make the call to see a {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} flop. Lykov studied the board carefully before betting 340,000 and Wooldridge quickly gave it up.

As the level went up, Wooldridge raised to 250,000 and Lykov made the call to see a {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop. Lykov led out for 290,000 and Wooldridge made the call, but when the chip leader bet 530,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn, the Englishman quickly folded his hand to some scattered cheers from members of the watching Russian rail.
