Fung Takes the Lead

We approached one of the upstairs tables to see an enormous pot developing between chip monsters Yevgeniy Timoshenko and Steven Fung. When we arrived, the board read {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {K-Hearts}.

The action as we witnessed it:

- Timoshenko checked
- Fung bet 46,000
- Timoshenko called
- river {10-Diamonds}
- Timoshenko checked
- Fung bet 99,000
- Timoshenko folded

Except obviously all of this took around 10 minutes, plus another five minutes for the TV people to do things afterwards.

The pot was pretty huge, and the chip lead changed hands at the end of it -- Fung is up to 580,000 while Timoshenko drops to 485,000.

Timoshenko was giggling as Fung exposed his hole cards to the camera."Dude! The suspense is going to kill me!"
