Early Aces

Oct 04, '09

Yevgeniy Timoshenko pictured right just doubled up with pocket aces and is now on 112,000. We came in on the action as he was raking his chips in and the player to his left was standing up and staring at the felt.

Elsewhere, Julien Brecard is on 64,000 after adding some chips to his stack with pocket aces in his most recent hand, and Sung Hee Yun was also given the blessing of the rockets while shortstacked on a tough table filled with Tobias Reinkemeier, Florian Langmann, J.C. Tran, and Carlos Mortensen. She moved all in from the small blind and the big blind called with A K. The board came J 6 4 6 J and she doubled up to 31,000.

Big Hands:

Isaac Baron Wins Huge Pot

On a board of J728, a player bet 8,000 into Isaac Baron on the button. Baron asked him for a count and then moved all-in for about 35,000 total. Baron’s opponent went into the tank and said, “I have eight outs.” He eventually called with his correct read on the situation and tabled the AK1010 for a pair of tens and flush draw. Baron turned over the nuts of Q1079 and needed to dodge a diamond to win a massive pot. The J hit the river and Baron is now up to 80,000 in chips.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko Eliminated

On a board of Q107, action was checked to Yevgeniy Timoshenko who bet 2,250. The big blind reraised to 8,500 and Nam Le folded from under-the-gun. Timoshenko went into the tank before finally committing the rest of his chips. The reigning WPT Championship winner tabled the AQ8J, while his opponent tabled the Q10A9. Timoshenko was behind against his opponents two pair but had outs for a straight. The turn was a disaster as the Q fell, eliminating all of Timoshenko’s straight draws. Timoshenko could only hope for a jack for the win or chop against his opponent’s full house with an ace. The 4 bricked on the river and Timoshenko was eliminated.

Big Hands:

Mike Caro Finally Wins

Shortly after a double up hand where Mike Caro’s AQ won against the AK of Alexey Popov, Caro called the all-in bet from Popov. Caro exposed another big ace, this time the AK while Popov was well behind with the Q8. The board offered no improvement for either player, as Caro’s ace-high was good enough to end the over four hour match.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko Takes Early Lead, Eliminates Evan Roberts

In his match against online heads up cash game specialist Evan Roberts, Timoshenko called a turn bet on a board of A648. The river was the 5 and Roberts checked to the 2009 WPT Championship winner. Timoshenko contemplated briefly before firing out 37,000. Roberts went into the tank before finally making the call. Timoshenko exposed the 107 for a flush, while Roberts mucked. Timoshenko was out to a 300,000 to 180,000 chip advantage. About twenty minutes later, Timoshenko once again held a flush, eliminating Roberts when he had two pair.

Left In The Deck:

Caro has been given a 20 minute break before resuming play with the rest of the field in round four. His opponent, Dmitry Lesnov, has been waiting for the Caro vs. Popov match to conclude.

Iceman tanks for a while and contemplates his opponent’s “overbet” before ultimately folding he hand. “I’ll show you one time, baby”, seat 10 says as he turns over A-9 for two pair. Iceman breathes a sigh of relief as he makes a big laydown, reserving his last 1,200 chips for a better spot.

Will “The Thrill” Can’t Be Stopped

One player opens for a raise and Will “The Thrill” Failla calls behind him. The flop comes Q82, Failla’s opponent bets 1,500. Failla raises to 3,200 and his opponent moves all in for 9,000. Failla calls and shows K10 for the second nut flush. His opponent shows two red aces and bricks on the turn and river. Failla gets his eighth kill of the day, and is still very much amongst the chip leaders with 40,000 in chips. Correction: Failla has now knocked out eleven players.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko Doubles Up

WPT Championship Winner, Yevgeniy Timoshenko gets it all in pre-flop with AK against an opponent’s 66; Timoshenko was covered. The board comes KQ592, giving Timoshenko top pair on the flop. Timoshenko doubles up to just under 7,000 this hand.

Kathy Liebert raises to 2,300 from under the gun, David Benefield reraises to 8,2000 from middle position, Markus Lehmann calls from the button, Blake Cahail calls from the big blind, and Kathy Liebert calls the reraise. The flop comes K94, Benefield and bets 11,700. Lehmann calls while both Cahail and Liebert fold. The turn is the K, and both players check. The river is the 2, and both players check again.

Lehmann climbs up the leaderboard to 215,000 this hand while Benefield falls to 110,000, follwed by Liebert with 80,000 and Cahail with 65,000.

The river was the A, putting all four aces on the board and Hellmuth checked. Seiver made a big bet and Hellmuth said, “I don’t think I can call you with 6 high,” before showing pocket sixes and folding.

Andy Bloch Moves All-in

Four way action pre-flop had pros J.C. Tran, Alec Torelli, Yevgeniy Timoshenko and Andy Bloch see a flop of 994. Bloch checked and Timoshenko bet out 18,000. Tran quickly folded and Torelli, the pre-flop raiser, contemplated for awhile and called. Action was back to Bloch, who moved all in for 53,100 more and Timoshenko instantly folded. Torelli asked for a count before eventually folding.

Daniel Negreanu is Eliminated

The short stacked Negreanu raised pre-flop with ace queen and was set all in by Doug Lee for 35,000, who was holding pocket threes. The flop brought a queen and everything looked good for a double up, however a 3 on the turn gave Lee a set and had Negreanu drawing dead.

Left In The Deck:

Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey, both at the same table, have begun negotiating prop bets.
