Lykov Scores a Double Knockout

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a preflop confrontation, Vladimir Troyanovskiy was all in from the hijack and up against Maxim Lykov in the cutoff and Sorin Marin in the big blind. All three players had similar stacks of just under 100,000 with Lykov slightly covering both opponents.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy: A?K?
Sorin Marin: A?A?
Maxim Lykov: J?J?

Marin was in great shape to triple up and remained ahead on the 8?7?5? turn. The 10? turn was also clean but the 9? river gave Lykov a jack-high straight to score nearly a full triple up while sending both Marin and Troyanovskiy to the rail.
