Timoshenko Makes Quads the Fun Way

There was already more than 40,000 in the middle by the time we caught up with Yevgeniy Timoshenko firing 23,500 at a {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop. Darren Maroni thought a bit before moving all in. It barely took Timoshenko a second to make the call, risking his last 127,000. "Nice hand," Timoshenko said when he saw that Maroni had flopped the nut straight with {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. His own {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} was in rough shape. The {k-Spades} turn gave him boat outs, however. Maroni held his breath, hoping the river wouldn't pair the board. No one was expecting to see the {k-Diamonds}.

"Oh my god! Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?" was all the poor guy could say. Timoshenko stayed silent about his runner-runner quads, counting out his stack to be doubled. Timoshenko now has 290,000 while a stunned Maroni was left with 25,000.
