Yevgeniv, Jesus Cross A Hundred Grand

Yevgeniy Timoshenko was recently moved to a new table, and is now sitting to the right of Chris "Jesus" Ferguson. He was recently involved in a couple of big hands, the second with Ferguson.

The first we caught up with on the turn with the board showing {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. The player under the gun checked, Timoshenko bet 8,900, and after a long think the opponent called. The river was the {3-Spades}. Again a check, a Timoshenko bet -- 16,300 this time -- a long tank, and a call. Timoshenko showed {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for the nuts, and his opponent mucked.

That hand carried Timoshenko up to 120,000. On the next hand, he raised to 2,050 from late position and Ferguson called behind him. The flop was {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Timoshenko bet 2,700, and Ferguson called. The turn was the {8-Spades}, and both checked. The river was the {10-Clubs}. Timoshenko bet 4,200, Ferguson raised to 14,000, and Timosehnko folded.

After that one, Timoshenko has 110,000. Meanwhile, Ferguson has chipped all of the way up to 127,000.
