Max Action

gepostet 2011-07-06 22:35 GMT • Level 27: 25,000-50,000, 5,000 ante

Max Lykov hasn't wasted much time in getting involved since arriving slightly late. Harald Olsen raised to 100,000 and Lykov made it 255,000 from the small blind but then snap folded when Olsen reraised to 1.1 million.

The next hand saw Joshua Evans make it 130,000 from UTG only to fold when Lykov made it 255,000 on the button.

Finally Lykov raised to 100,000 and Olsen called to see a flop. Olsen led out for 135,000 but snap-folded when Lykov made it 325,000.

Michaelo Making Moves

gepostet 2011-07-06 22:13 GMT • Level 27: 25,000-50,000, 5,000 ante

Sebastien Roy raised to 135,000 from early position and action folded around to Dror Michaelo in the big blind who called. The flop came and both players checked. When the came on the turn Michaelo checked again and Roy put out a bet of 125,000. Michaelo then thought for a minute before announcing he was all in. Michaelo had Roy covered so if Roy called he would be putting his tournament life on the line. Roy looked pained over the decision but eventually decided to fold.
