Tymoshenko’s Costly Arrival
The action started with Gary Benson opening to 25,000 in chips, forcing the table to fold around to the stack of Dmitriy Tymoshenko. He was making his way to the table, and just took his seat as the dealer went to muck his cards.
“What’s the ruling?” asked Benson, as Tymoshenko looked down at his cards before throwing out a bet of 135,000 in chips.
“He’s taking his seat in time,” ruled the Tournament Director.
“Alright, I’m all in,” said Benson, committing his remaining 252,000 in chips.
“Is this a set up?” joked Tymoshenko, as he snap called.

The board ran out 
, to see Benson making a full house on the flop, on his way to a handy double up.
“Thanks for allowing him to play the hand,” said Benson, as he raked in the pot.
