Somerville Sold on Big Slick

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Yevgeniy Timoshenko started a recent hand out by opening from under the gun for 125. Action folded around to Jason Koon who made the call. The table then folded around to Jason Somerville in the cut-off who repopped it to 525. The blinds folded and Timoshenko went into tank mode, for some pondering. After a few moments of contemplation Timoshenko three-bet to 1,125. Koon folded, and Somerville waited a few seconds before making a bet of 5,000 that would put Timoshenko all in. Timoshenko made the call and cards were tabled.

Timoshenko: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Somerville: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Both players had a great chance to win this pot, but a {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop put the hand drastically in Somerville's favor. Unless Timoshenko could hit the queen of spades his day would be done. He received no such luck as the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

Somerville now sits with around 9,500 in chips.
