Timoshenko Picks Up Aces to Double Off Furth
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Limits: 40,000-140,000
Yevgeniy Timoshenko raised to 140,000 in early position and Bruno Furth called on the button, while big blind Christopher Vitch also came along.
The flop came 2♦6♥9♥ and action checked to Furth who bet 150,000. Vitch folded, but Timoshenko moved all in for 305,000 and Furth snap-called.
Yevgeniy Timoshenko: A♦A♠Q♠2♠ 
Bruno Furth: 7♥4♦3♦2♥
Timoshenky was ahead with his aces but needed to dodge Furth's straight and flush draws as well as a low draw. The 9♠ turn was safe for Timoshenko, while the river was the J♣ and Timoshenko held on to double up.
