Lykov Drives Stake in Tent

Torsten Tent opened with a raise to 65,000 from middle position, and Maxim Lykov called behind.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Tent checked, Lykov bet 140,000, and Tent called. The turn brought the {A-Spades}. Tent again checked, Lykov bet 225,000 this time, and Tent again made the call. Suddenly the pot had grown to over 900,000.

The river was the {K-Diamonds}. Tent checked one more time, and this time Lykov bet a whopping 656,000 -- about two-thirds of what Tent had left behind.

"You caught your gutshot?" asked Tent. "Queen-jack?" Lykov said nothing. Finally, Tent called, and indeed Lykov had queen-jack for the Broadway straight. Tent showed pocket eights for the set, and shipped about 1.1 million over to Lykov.

That huge pot pushes Lykov up to 3.118 million, and Tent tumbles all of the way to ninth place with 312,000.
