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.
