Timoshenko Fires Four Barrels

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Yevgeniy Timonshenko opened to 900 from under-the-gun and found a lone caller in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and the big checked, prompting an 1,150 c-bet from Timoshenko. His opponent called.

The turn brought a {3-Hearts} and the big checked again. Not slowing down, Timoshenko fired for 2,750. His opponent deliberated, but then, as if suddenly convincing himself, quickly chucked in a call.

The {A-Diamonds} completed the board and the big checked a final time. Timoshenko took his time, but cut out a bet to just under 6,000 and casually slid it into the middle. His opponent didn't spend too much time throwing his hand away.

Timoshenko is up to 21,000.
