Timoshenko on a Tear!

Yevgeniy Timoshenko opened to 1,800 from early position and was re-raised to 3,600 from the player on the button. The blinds folded and Timonshenko called.

The flop came {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Timoshenko checked. His opponent thought for a bit, but then announced, "All in," which got a shocked expression out of Timoshenko. Timoshenko thought for a few seconds and said, "Call," for the remainder of his chips.

Timoshenko: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

The {9-Clubs} turn and {3-Spades} river were safe for Timoshenko, who doubled yet again - this time to 52,000. Not bad for a guy who started the level under 10K.
