Timotheou Eliminates a Short Stack and Aquires Additional Chips in the Process

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Timotheos Timotheou raised to 2,300 from the cutoff and the small blind called. The big blind was on a short stack with roughly 7,500 remaining and decided to exercise his option to go all in. Both opponents had him covered and made the call.

The flop was 9♥5♦2♥; the small blind checked, Timotheou bet 5,500, and the small blind called.

The turn was 2♠ and action checked through.

The river was 4♠; action checked through once again and the players tabled their hands

Big Blind: K♣J♦ All in
Timotheos Timotheou: 9♣8♣
Small Blind: K♥10♥

Timotheou's pair was good enough to eliminate the big blind while taking the side pot from the small blind.
