Ukrainian Ups the Stakes and Drags a Big Pot

Level 6 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Yevgeniy Timoshenko Taking Control
Yevgeniy Timoshenko Taking Control

Timoshenko made the minimum raise to 60,000 and E-Fro decided to come along. The flop rolled out {8-Spades}{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Froehlich checked, prompting a bet of 70,000 from Timoshenko which Froehlich called.

The turn brought the {A-Clubs} and Timoshenko continued his line, betting 150,000. A call by Froehlich swelled the pot to 560,000 and the dealer revealed the {K-Spades} on the river. E-Fro checked once again and Timoshenko paused in contemplation, staring his opponent down and counting out a bet of 450,000 chips.

Froehlich went into the tank and riffled a stack of green 25,000 chips, perhaps assessing whether or not he could afford to simply call. Eventually he mucked his cards and Timoshenko's aggression earned him yet another huge pot.
