Yevgeniy Timoshenko was the only caller of a 30,800-chip all-in bet from an early-position player. That player showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

against Timoshenko's {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

. A king hit the flop, {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

, and held up through the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

turn and

{5-Diamonds}

river.

"You would have had a bit of a sweat if I had called," said the player on the button. He said he had considered a call with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

.

Timoshenko didn't mind losing almost 31,000 chips all that much. He still has about 235,000.
