With 8,800 chips in the pot and the board reading 
, Eric Hicks checked from the big blind and Yevgeniy Timoshenko bet the pot from under the gun. Hicks check-raised all in, putting Timoshenko to a decision for his stack.
"Gotta put the pressure on, my friend. I've got a plane to catch," said Hicks as he moved his chips forward.
"I've got a plane to catch too," Timoshenko replied with a smile. "Well, this was my plan."
Timoshenko called to put himself at risk and the two players tabled their hands.
Eric Hicks: 
Yevgeniy Timoshenko: 
Timoshenko had the best of it with his aces but Hicks had numerous ways to catch up. The 
on the turn gave Hicks a lock on the pot with a flush and he took the chips to eliminate Timoshenko after the 
fell on the river.
