Timoshenko's Day is Done

[user153638]

Nível 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We missed the elimination of Yevgeniy Timoshenko, but Noah Schwartz was kind enough to fill us in on what happened.

According to him a player had opened for 12,000 and Timoshenko called. When the flop came down , Timoshenko checked and his opponent bet 12,000. Timoshenko moved all in for 72,000 and a call was made.

Timoshenko:
Opponent:

Neither player held much other than gutshot straight draws, so when a blanked on the turn followed by a on the river, the king high won and Timoshenko was sent to the rail.

Gruissem:

Fernandez was looking to dodge an ace, but that proved easier said than done as the flop came down . The man known as "Philbort" paired his ace and took a commanding lead on the hand. The turn meant Fernandez needed the case queen to stay alive, but it wasn't in the cards as the blanked.

Fernandez bows out in 34th place.

Read "Bad Beats Be Gone!" by Tommy Angelo at Learn.PokerNews

[user38338]

Nível 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Poker author and coach Tommy Angelo has returned with a new installment of his popular "Tilt for Beginners" series at Learn.PokerNews. Today's entry finds Tommy engaged in conversation with two characters who appear in his forthcoming book, Painless Poker. Here's how the story begins:

“What, precisely, is a bad beat?” said Alfonzo Calibri.

“A bad beat is when you lose a hand during which at some point you had a high statistical probability of winning the hand,” said Charlie Archer.

“I don’t think a bad beat is defined by odds,” I said, “but rather, by pain.”
