Timoshenko Always Smiling

Level 4 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

From under the gun, Antonio Esfandiari raised to 9,000. Yevgeniy Timoshenko called from the next seat, Igor Kurganov called on the button, Stanley Choi called from the small blind, and Rono Lo called from the big blind to create a five-way affair going to the flop.

On the {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, action was checked by Choi, Lo, and Esfandiari. Timoshenko bet 20,000, and Kurganov called. Choi, Lo, and Esfandiari all folded.

The turn paired the board with the {K-Clubs}, and both Timoshenko and Kurganov checked. Then, the river completed the board with the {2-Clubs}. Timoshenko fired 48,000, and Kurganov folded.

As Timoshenko pulled in the pot, Kurganov peered in at him. "Is that a smile I see, Yev?" he asked. Timoshenko did have a very small smile on his face, but after the comment it was much larger.

"Ahh, now you do!" said Kurganov.

"I'm always smiling," said Timoshenko. "Especially after I just won a tournament."
