Timoshenko Drags a Big One

Level 4 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Yevgeniy Timoshenko made his standard raise to 40,000 preflop, and Eric Froehlich made the call.

The flop came out {Q-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs}, and Timoshenko splashed out another 45,000 chips. Froehlich check-called, and the {A-Hearts} dropped on fourth street. When Froehlich checked again, Timoshenko fired a second bullet worth 120,000. Froehlich didn't waste much time calling, and there was more than 400,000 in the pot as the {3-Clubs} landed on the river.

Froehlich checked again, and Timoshenko stacked out chips again. He made a healthy bet of 280,000, and Froehlich sat in his thinking pose for a couple minutes. He eventually announced the call, and Timoshenko showed down {A-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}. A frown came across Froehlich's face and the opposite reaction hit Timoshenko as he fought off a big grin. There were nearly a million chips in that pot, and it goes to Timoshenko to pull him back into a small lead in the match.
