When we arrived at Yevgeniy Timoshenko's table, he and the player to his direct left were entering a raised pot and watching as the dealer spread out a flop.
On the flop, Timoshenko checked and then took his time to call a bet of 525 from his opponent. On the turn, Timoshenko again checked and this time called the same 525-chip bet a lot quicker. The was the last card to hit the board and this time when Timoshenko checked, so too would his opponent.

Timoshenko's kicker was enough to rake in the pot and add to his stack.
Rob Perelman was kind enough to let us know about an interesting hand that played out just prior to the break. Apparently it all started with a player opening to 225. The small-blind player called and so too did Rob Perelman in the big blind.
The flop would see the small blind check, Perelman bet 225 and both his opponents call. On the turn the action was checked to the preflop aggressor who bet 1,200. The small blind called and then Perelman shoved for an extra 4,025. The player next to act called and then the small blind shoved for a further 2,000. The one remaining opponent called and all three players turned their hands over.

Perelman would be hoping the river card wouldn't give his opponent a heart and in his words, it was the "eight of not hearts," that landed on the felt to send him the huge pot.
Joseph Cheong has had a great start to the 2012 World Series of Poker and that continued again today when he finished in 9th in Event 34: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed. His bust occurred only half an hour ago and since then he has managed to take a seat in this tournament and even double-up.
