Plichta Pushes Chips

[user66118]

Under the gun, Maxim Lykov opened with a raise to 100,000 straight, only to see Lucasz Plichta move all in for 492,000. Lykov asked for a full count before making the call with the covering stack, the young Pole now at risk for his tournament life.

Showdown
Lykov: {A-Clubs}

Plichta:

The flop was a big dry desert for the all-in player as it ran out {3-Spades}

. The

that hit the turn was a bit of a help as it gave him four more outs to the chop. There would be no chop though.

The {10-Hearts}

peeled off on the river, and it was a beautiful sight for Plichta. His pair of tens is good enough for the come-from-behind double up, pushing him over 1,000,000 for the first time today. Lykov, meanwhile, is sliding the other way. He's back to 1,616,000 with the shorter stacks now hot on his heels.
