From Zero to Massive Hero

Remember yesterday when Yevgeniy Timoshenko came back from around 20,000 in the latter stages of play to a very decent stack and Peter Gould made his 'zero to hero' comment? Well, Mr. Timoshenko has just rocketed stratosphere-wards to grab the chip lead by a huge margin.

We arrived tableside to witness a monstrous pot in progress. The board read {A-Spades}

and Timoshenko had announced all in to cover Marc Goodwin. After a few moments' tense silence, Goodwin called.

Goodwin: {A-Clubs}

for two pair
Timoshenko: {9-Clubs}

for a full house

With a quiet, "Nice hand," and then what sounded weirdly like a, "Thank you," the EPT Barcelona runner up made his exit. Timoshenko meanwhile was all smiles -- he's up to a terrifying 640,000.
