More Chips Given to Yevgeniy

By the turn, the pot was about 20,000 in chips between Yevgeniy Timoshenko and his opponent. The board read {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and action was checked to Timoshenko. He fired 12,000 before his opponent check-raised all in for 45,000. Timoshenko snapped him off holding the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a flush, with straight flush possibilities. His at-risk opponent held the {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} and wasn't dead yet. He would need to pair the board on the river to double through. The river completed the board with the {4-Diamonds} and Timoshenko's flush held up.

On the next hand, a player opened with a raise preflop to 1,500 from under the gun and Timoshenko flatted from middle position. The big blind came along as well to see the flop come down {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. The big blind and original raiser checked. Timoshenko fired a bet of 3,000. The big blind made the call and the other player folded.

The turn card produced the {9-Hearts} and the big blind checked. A bet from Timoshenko worth 7,500 was good enough to win him the pot. After all of this action, Timoshenko is now up to about 220,000 in chips.

If you don't know much about Timoshenko, here's a brief look at his career highlights. Timoshenko is the winner of the $25,000 WPT Championship in 2009 where he earned $2,149,960 for his victory. He has over $3.27 million in live tournament earnings and also won the World Championship of Online Poker's $5,200 Main Event in 2009 for over $1.7 million.
