Timoshenko Five-Bet Bullies Linn Into Submission

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Yevgeniy Timoshenko
Yevgeniy Timoshenko

Michael Linn opened for 2,200 from early position and action folded around to Yevgeniy Timoshenko on the button, who three-bet to 5,700. Linn thought for a bit and said, "Alright," before sliding out a four-bet to about 15,000. Timoshenko studied his opponent and then very quietly announced he was all in.

Linn fell deep into the tank and began shuffling chips. He asked Timoshenko how much he had left, to which Timoshenko nonchalantly replied, "About sixty-eight."

Linn continued to tank for a couple minutes but then eventually took one last look at his cards and threw them into the muck.

Timoshenko is up to 88,000.
