One Level, Two Flops, One Big Pot Won With Jack High

The Timoshenko/Failla match has been a slow burner thus far. Coming back from the break with a chip deficit, Failla (who we learned flew straight over here and immediately jumped into the tournament in truly hardcore fashion) held his own despite constant small pressure from Timoshenko. No pots over 8k for 15 minutes, then this:

The usual raise to 4k resulted in a flop of {3-Hearts} {5-Spades} {6-Clubs} - little action now, but 7,500, the most substantial bet seen all level, came from Timoshenko when Failla checked to him on the {Q-Spades} turn. The river was the {A-Hearts}. Check to Timoshenko again (Failla now down under 20k) and after a very still, fairly long pause, he checked behind. He was rewarded with one of those, "You win, I missed" headshakes and preparations-to-muck, so he turned over {J-Clubs} {2-Hearts} which was, as it turned out, good.
