Kissing Your Sister

Level 8 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Yevgeniy Timoshenko opened to 320,000, and Jake Cody put him all in for 2.308 million. Timoshenko called, and he was at risk for his tournament life.

Showdown
Cody: {A-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}
Timoshenko: {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs}

"It's like kissing your sister" someone in the commentary box said. He was unaware of the drama that would follow.

The flop came out {8-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {9-Spades}, and the Brits in the crowd let out a collective, "Oooooh!" as their man had picked up the ol' backdoor flush draw. You can just imagine the noise on the {10-Clubs} turn, then, Cody just one club away from the bracelet. The spectators leaned in toward the stage, elbow-to-elbow, and they let out another rising, "Ooooooooh" in anticipation of the river card.

River: {5-Hearts}

"Awwwwww," everyone on this side of the arena yelled. It was a split pot, and Cody doesn't have that bracelet just yet. Timoshenko let out a wry smile as he pulled his chips back into his stack.
