Lian Rockets Lykov to the Exit

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Tahsin Cankurtaranli raised to 4,000 under the gun before Maxim Lykov three-bet to 12,000 on the button. Xiang Lian then four-bet to 28,500 in the big blind.

Cankurtaranli folded, but Lykov moved all in for around 90,000 and Lian snap-called.

Maxim Lykov: A?K?
Xiang Lian: A?A?

Lykov was already up from his seat and walking toward the exit soon after Lian turned over his aces. The board ran out 5?6?8?10?2? and Lian took the pot to seal Lykov's bustout.
