Vitkind Doubles Through Timoshenko
Level 17
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Yeveniy Timoshenko opened to 9,000 from the cutoff and once the small blind had folded, Dmitry Vitkind three-bet to 20,000 from the big blind. Timoshenko sat working out all of his options before settling on the most aggressive — an all-in shove. Vitkind snapped him off and the cards were flipped onto their backs.
Timoshenko: 
Vitkind: 
A rare mistake from Timoshenko who got his chips in as an 82% underdog, which was very uncharacteristic of him. The final board read 
and Timoshenko had to hand over 149,500 of his chips, leaving himself with 92,000.
