Eleven Minute Hand, No Showdown

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

We arrived after the flop, but Phil Collins filled us in on some of the details. Yevgeniy Timoshenko limped from early position and next to act, Chino Rheem raised to 900. After another player called in between, Timoshenko three-bet. After Rheem came over the top with a four-bet for another 6,100, Timoshenko put in 7,000 on top with a five-bet.

Rheem called and when the flop came down {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades}, both checked. The {8-Diamonds} hit the turn and after about two minutes Timoshenko went all in for 30,625. Rheem went deep into the tank for several minutes, but in the end he made what looked to be an agonizing fold. As Timoshenko collected the chips and pushed his cards to the dealer, Rheem was willing to pay to see Timoshenko's cards. The price quickly rose from $100 to $300, but Timoshenko declined.

End result? Rheem is down to about 37,000 while Timoshenko has about 68,000.
