Timoshenko Wins the Hard Way

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The action was folded to the cutoff who raised to 26,000 and was called by the button. Yevgeniy Timoshenko was in the big blind and raised all-in for 130,000. The player in the cutoff called while the button folded. Timoshenko was in a race scenario with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} against his opponent's {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

The flop came {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Timoshenko was in danger of exiting the tournament. The turn brought the {5-Clubs}, giving Timoshenko one extra out to hit. That one extra out was exactly what he needed as the {5-Diamonds} hit the river. His opponent couldn't believe it as he sat with a shocked look on his face while Timoshenko scooped a big pot before the end of the evening.
