Hand #149 - Yevgeniy Timoshenko

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Fuad Serhan folds, only for Yevgeniy Timoshenko to make an inevitable push from the small blind for 330,000. Clearly holding a marginal hand, Jesper Hougaard grimaced as he peeked at his cards, but eventually tapped the table and passed his hand. The deliberation, however, was perhaps a warning that next time, he'd make the call.
