Timoshenko Flames Out

[user75032]

Yevgeniy Timoshenko worked hard to build his stack up to about 250,000 chips. In the space of one hand, it was all gone.

We came to the table with more than 100,000 chips already in the middle in a pot contested between Timoshenko and Donald D'Auria. There were four community cards already on board, {Q-Clubs}

. D'Auria led out for 60,000. Timoshenko double-checked the amount of the bet, then moved all in for 172,000. D'Auria called.

D'Auria: {A-Clubs}

Timoshenko: {K-Spades}

The table was stunned. Timoshenko could come up with only a gutshot draw to Broadway and some imagination. He was brutally eliminated from the tournament, just a few spots out of the money, by a river card that fell {J-Hearts}

.

"What do you do if a ten comes off in the end?" one player at the table asked D'Auria.

"I cry," D'Auria responded.

Shawn Glines seemed puzzled by Timoshenko's play. "I don't think he had enough chips to do that," said Glines.
