Timoshenko Shrugs Off Small Hit

Yevgeniy Timoshenko was the only caller of a 30,800-chip all-in bet from an early-position player. That player showed {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} against Timoshenko's {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}. A king hit the flop, {J-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {6-Spades}, and held up through the {Q-Hearts} turn and {5-Diamonds} river.

"You would have had a bit of a sweat if I had called," said the player on the button. He said he had considered a call with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}.

Timoshenko didn't mind losing almost 31,000 chips all that much. He still has about 235,000.
