Lykov Drops a Bullet

[user66118]

Level 1 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Max Lykov opened to 3,500 from the button, and Matt Marafioti three-bet to something like 10,200. Lykov considered before shoving all in, and Marafioti double-checked his cards quickly before announcing the call. He slapped over {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} , and Lykov's {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds} was in trouble.

The {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {7-Clubs} flop changed everything, then the {K-Diamonds} turn changed it all back again. The river {9-Spades} secured the pot for Marafioti, and Lykov pushed the rest of his first-bullet chips forward. He quickly cashed in his two buttons to take 200,000 chips, but he's still at a 2:1 disadvantage in the match.
