Hand #125 - Yevgeniy Timoshenko Doubles Through Jesper Hougaard

Following that defeat, a wounded Yevgeniy Timoshenko moves all in from the small blind for 240,000 more. The action halts on Jesper Hougaard in the big blind, who is still picking up his chips from the previous hand, as if unaware that the decision is on him. But on the contrary, Hougaard is very aware, and eventually makes the call with {A-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Timoshenko tables {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

Board = {6-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

The knave plays and Timoshenko doubles through.

Hand #124 - Jesper Hougaard Doubles Through Yevgeniy Timoshenko

Jesper Hougaard has the button in Seat 6. He raises to 65,000 and Yevgeniy Timoshenko calls from the big blind. The flop is {J-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}. Timoshenko checks, Hougaard bets 72,000 and Timoshenko calls. The turn is the {7-Diamonds}. Timoshenko bets 180,000 and Hougaard calls. The river lands the {8-Spades} and Timoshenko pauses for quite a while before sliding out another 180,000. Hougaard, though, moves all in and Timoshenko calls.

Hougaard shows {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades} for the nut straight , besting Timoshenko's {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and wins the monster pot. Timoshenko's stack is decimated, leaving him with 270,000 while Hougaard takes a commanding chip lead.

Serhan checks, Timoshenko bets 60,000 and Serhan makes it 100,000 more. Timoshenko folds.
