Timoshenko Out

With one limper in front, Yevgeniy Timoshenko opened from the cutoff to 1,200 and got a smooth call from the small blind, before the big blind pumped the action up to 3,600.

Tim Balaban, the middle position limper, then decided to make the call before Timoshenko moved his final 7,225 chips all in.

The small blind folded out of the way, and the big blind once again raised the stakes by pushing out a bet of 15,000 over the top of the all in. This forced Balaban into the tank and eventually he laid his hand down.
