Yevgeniy Timoshenko First in Final Four

Level 6 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

With the blinds at 10,000/20,000, David Paredes min-raised from the button and Timoshenko three-bet to 105,000. Paredes shoved the rest of his chips, which looked to be about 540,000, into the middle of the table and Timoshenko snap-called. The Ukranian showed his {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} found himself dominating the {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} of Paredes. The flop of {7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} gave Paredes a slew of additional outs, as he could now catch any six or any diamond to win the hand. The turn card came {2-Hearts} and Paredes was down to his last card. The {Q-Clubs} on the river was no help and Timoshenko became the first player to reach the Final Four of the $25k Heads-Up World Championship. He is now assured of at least $283,966 for his efforts thus far, while Paredes earned $138,852 for his 8th place finish.
