Timoshenko Takes A Hit

Kevin Taylor

Yevgeniy Timoshenko has always been known to take his time in making a decision, taking in all of the factors surrounding the hand. Well Timoshenko might have met his match with Teresa Duck, as the two locked horns in a hand that took about seven minutes.

The action started with Duck raising to 4,200 in the cutoff. It folded to Timoshenko, who took about a minute before putting out a raise to 11,000. About 90 seconds later, Duck put in the chips for the call, and the two took a flop of {9-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} . Timoshenko thought for a while, then put together a bet of 7,600. Duck cut out the chips for the call, and slid them in about 30 seconds later. The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} , and again, Timshenko went deep into thought. He decided to check, and Duck thought for just a few moments before taking the opportunity to move all in for 24,000 total. Timoshenko thought for a couple of minutes before announcing call. The two flipped their cards, and Timoshenko was in trouble.

Timoshenko: {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}
Duck: {a-Diamonds} {a-Hearts}

Timoshenko would need an eight and an eight only to knock out Duck, but the river came the {k-Clubs} , giving Duck the double up and taking a chunk out of Timoshenko's still healthy stack.
