Hand #12 - Fuad Serhan Doubles Through Yevgeniy Timoshenko

Adam Junglen has the button in Seat 9. Yevgeniy Timoshenko opens for 25,000 from UTG and the action is folded to Fuad Serhan in the small blind, who calls. Daniel Nutt calls as well from the big blind. The flop is {Q-Diamonds}

. Serhan moves all in for 47,000, Nutt folds and Timoshenko calls.

Serhan {10-Hearts}

Timoshenko {9-Hearts}

Serhan flopped a set of tens and the {10-Clubs}

on the turn made him quads and left Timoshenko drawing dead. The river was the meaningless {A-Hearts}

and Serhan more than doubled up to 175,000.

Tales From the Rail

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We are being treated to a star-studded rail today. Representing the British contingent are circuit pros and fellow Midlanders Marc 'MrCool' Goodwin, Paul 'Actionjack' Jackson and Mickey 'The Worm' Wernick, but the biggest name keeping his eyes peeled on the action is the Legend himself, Doyle Brunson. It looks like he's come to support Linda Lee, although I have a sneaking suspicion that he's really here to watch the PokerNews blogging team in action.

Hand #5 - Jesper Hougaard

Play grinds to a halt on Jesper Hougaard who open shoves all-in. He claims that he wants to echo Adam Junglen's bet, but is sadly unable to do so. Nevertheless, he takes the pot uncontested when both blinds fold.
