Timoshenko Doubles Through Winkler

In what was easily one of the biggest pots of the tournament thus-far, Yevgeniy Timoshenko just doubled up to rise to the top of the chip counts.

Timoshenko raised to 65,000 from middle position and was called by Sebastian Winkler in the hijack and Sven Heinecker in the small blind. The flop came {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, Heinecker checked, Timoshenko bet 115,000 and Winkler called while Heineker folded.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and Timoshenko bet 215,000 which Winkler again opted to call. When the {2-Spades} came on the river, Timoshenko declared he was all in for his remaining 430,000. Winkler spent a couple of minutes debating before deciding to call.

Timoshenko revealed his {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and Winkler mucked his hand shipping the enormous pot to Timoshenko.
