Timoshenko Dodges Danger

Yevgeniy Timoshenko hasn��t been able to get anything going here today, but a disciplined fold just saw him potentially save his tournament life.
After a tablemate opened to 2,500 for five times the big blind, Timoshenko had a dilemma to deal with from the small blind.
��I have the best hand I��ve had in hours�� Timoshenko admitted to the opener.
��So do I�� came the reply.
��I think I just have to lose the tournament no matter what�� the way the day has gone�� Timoshenko continued.
The two quipped back and forth but with the big blind still to act they were somewhat limited in what they could reveal. Ultimately Timoshenko found a fold and it proved to be a good one when the big blind folded too.
The initial raiser tabled 
and let Timoshenko breathe a sigh of relief.
��Thank you,�� Timoshenko said, ��you��re a lovely gentleman.��
��Why don��t you two get a room?�� joked a tablemate.
��Maybe we will�� Timoshenko retorted with a laugh.
