The 2009 World Championship of Online Poker had its final time on Monday when the second day of the main event draw itself a conclusion and Yevgeniy “Jovial Gent” Timoshenko took the world's most craved for title of online poker world.
The USD5,200 tournament saw more than two thousand participants who came to create a total prize pool of USD10,720,000 and a first-place payday of USD1,715,200. The chip leader entering the final table was well-known Dan “djk123” Kelly, fresh off his win the night before in the high-roller H.O.R.S.E. event.
When the four players remained, the key hand of the final table happenned between Kelly and Yevgeniy “Jovial Gent” Timoshenko, the chip leader at this point. The two got into a raising war preflop that led to Kelly five-betting all-in with T♥T♦. Timoshenko called with K♦K♠ and flopped a third king. No miracle came for “djk123” and his incredible 2009 WCOOP ended with a fourth-place finish in the Main Event for USD643,200. Timoshenko took a sizable chip lead and extended it even further when he busted “reddeevil” in third place. That left “Udon Wannit” and Timoshenko to duke it out for the Main Event bracelet.
With more than a triple chip advantage, Timoshenko made quick work of “Udon Wannit” in a heads-up battle he won in just 18 hands. Timoshenko called a raise out of the big blind and the flop ran out 6♠K♣8♥. Yevgeniy put in a check-raise and “Udon Wannit” three-bet all-in with 5♣6♣, which was in dire straits against Timoshenko’s K♦6♦. No bad beat came and Timoshenko can charish his WCOOP Main Event win of USD1,715,200. As if he hadn't won enough already. Timoshenko also won the Full Tilt USD1K Monday less than an hour later for USD75,000. Not a bad payout for the young poker professional.
