Timoshenko Extends His Chip Lead

Yevgeniy Timoshenko

As he has done so frequently this afternoon, Yevgeniy Timoshenko opened the pot for 25,000. Big blind Rober Karian was the only caller. He checked to Timoshenko on a flop of all babies, {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. Timoshenko cut out 36,000 chips from his stack and pushed them over the betting line, bringing a quick call from Karian.

Karian again checked the turn when it fell {9-Spades}. This time Timoshenko bet 76,000, bringing another rapid call from Karian. Both players checked the {6-Spades} river. Karian tabled {A-?}{Q-?}, which couldn't beat Timoshenko's red eights.

Yeah Takes One From Kastle

Casey Kastle opened with a raise to 35,000 and Joon Hee Yeah made a quick call in position.

The flop landed {9-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Kastle checked to Yeah, who fired 40,000. Kastle folded and Yeah took it down.

Who Needs a Big Hand?

Quang Nguyen opened our latest pot for 30,000 and found one caller, Rober Karian. Both players checked the {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {3-Clubs} flop, checked again on the {k-Hearts} turn, and checked one final time on the {2-Hearts} river.

"Queen high," said Nguyen.

"It's good," replied Karian, prompting Nguyen's eyes to widen in surprise as he tabled {Q-Spades} {8-Spades} and collected the pot.

Joon Hee Yeah moved all in for his last 118,000 and finally found a customer in Rober Karian.

Yeah: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Karian: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} to give Yeah a pair of aces to collect a much needed double-up to now sit with around 250,000 chips to be back in contention!

It was a raised pot preflop, contested between Julio Diaz and Rober Karian. With the board showing {k-Spades} {5-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, Diaz led out for 52,000. Karian quickly announced, "Raise," and pushed out 152,000 chips of his own. Diaz had no stomach for a further fight and folded.

Three in a Row for Timoshenko

After watching Joon Hee Yeah raise it and take it three times in a row, Yevgeniy Timoshenko must have felt left out. He has raised the last three pots preflop, winning all three without a fight.

Joon Hee Yeah Gets Moving

Joon Hee Yeah has started to move his short stack around. After successfully moving all in preflop on the last three hands he has been able to claim the blinds and antes to get his stack back over the 100,000 mark.

Karian Takes a Chunk Out of Nguyen

Rober Karian

Rober Karian is in the mix. He raised to 21,000 preflop, finding one caller in the form of Quang Nguyen. Nguyen checked the {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {2-Spades} flop. Karian quickly bet 33,000 and was called. It was the same action on the {7-Diamonds} turn, except the bet was 65,000. Both players checked the {5-Clubs} river, where Karian showed down {K-?}{J-?} for top pair. That was enough to claim the pot.
