Event # 54 of 2011 WSOP Taken down by Maxim Lykoy

With the end of WSOP 2011 drawing near, Event 54 attracted a very impressive field of 4,576 people. This meant a $4,118,400 prize pool for the $1,000 No Limit Hold’em event, with an impressive $648,880 for 1st place. Only 468 people made the money, including a number of well known pros. The UB promotional code system has been in place for a long time now, but it continues to remain one of the best run systems out there.

Lykov is from Russia and started drawing attention back in 2009 after some big scores. He took down a tournament at the Red Sea Poker Cup for almost $70k, had a 3rd place finish in a WSOP event, and then won an EPT event in Kiev for $468,504. Since then he has had several other 6-figure scores, and he came into WSOP 2011 looking for his first bracelet. The benefits of using UB referral code do not stop with just the signup bonus.

He was a heavy favorite to win the event when it was down to 9 players as he had 3,875,000 chips, which was close to a third of the total chips in play. Dror Michaelo trailed behind him as the distant 2nd place stack with 1,980,000 chips.

Dror Michaelo was eliminated in 2nd place for a very handsome $401,296.
