While hand-for-hand play in the Little One NLHE tournament was going on, Tony Cousineau ran over to his seat here to play a few hands. He probably wished that he hadn't as he lost a big pot with suited in diamonds to drop his stack down to just 35,000. He did at least make the money in the Little One while he did so, giving him nine cashes for the 2014 WSOP. If he can hit a hand or two in this event, it could be ten as there are 90 players remaining with 45 making the money.
We got to the table with five cards face up in the middle of the table... . Yevgeniy Timoshenko was up against one opponent who had a pot sized bet of 66,000 in front of him - enough to bust Timoshenko if he made the call and lost the hand.
Timoshenko went deep into thought for several minutes, at one point asking his opponent "will you show if I fold?" His opponent remained silent and the floor came over to break the table as Timoshenko continued his thought processes. A grimace came over the young pro and he peeked back at his cards and then turned his attention to his older foe.
Timoshenko started to muck his hand and his opponent made a sudden, perceptible movement, leaning back and crossing his arms. This caused Timoshenko to pause, as he studied his opponent even more intently than before. A player at the table called the clock and shortly before the countdown was set to expire, Timoshenko called.
His opponent tabled for the nut straight and Timoshenko exited the room quickly.
On a board of , Steve Zolotow called 12,000 on the button from Matt Kirk in middle position. The Aussie fired again for 20,000 on the river and was quickly called. He knuckled the table.
Studdard had an overpair and a flush draw and he was against two pair and a straight draw. The turn put Studdard in front with a flush, and the river kept him there.
Phil Laak opened for 4,000 and only Alex Kravchenko out of the big blind decided to give him some action. The flop came down and Laak asked how much was in the pot after Kravchenko checked.
"Nine," replied the dealer, and Laak put out a bet of 6,100. Kravchenko folded.
