Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Kenneth Smaron opened the hijack to 65,000. Small blind Denis Timofeev, who won the previous hand from Smaron, three-bet to 210,000 with 1.4 million behind. Abdellatif folded his big blind, Smaron called.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Timofeev bet 225,000 into 485,000. Smaron called to grow the pot to 935,000.

As the {4-Hearts} hit the turn, Timofeev and Smaron checked.

The {J-Clubs} completed the board and Timofeev bet 375,000. Smaron asked to see how much Timofeev had behind (805,000) and eventually shoved over the top all in. Timofeev was facing a tough decision, and it took him several minutes to come up with one.

The pot took 12 minutes in total, but in the end it was worth it as Timofeev called with {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and that hand proved good. Smaron showed just {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Timofeev grabbed the chip lead.
