Yevgeniy Timoshenko moved in preflop holding the 10-2 of hearts, and the short-stacked Harman quickly called with pocket Aces. The flop came Q-4-2, and Harman was well ahead in the hand. Unfortunately for Harman, the turn brought the 10 of clubs, giving Timoshenko two pair. The river helped neither player, and Harman was sent to the rail. Boy-faced and grinning wide, Yevgeniy Timoshenko celebrated the richest victory of his short poker career in April by grabbing four thick bricks of cash, holding them high over his head.

A high-stakes poker pro and his former roommate have agreed to settle a lawsuit that was filed in federal court back in March 2017.
Yevgeniy Timoshenko, a World Poker Tour champion, and former friend Frank Gu on Tuesday informed the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York that their trial slated for Sept. 25 is no longer necessary. The two men went to arbitration late last month.
Timoshenko sued Gu for about $90,000, according to the March 2017 complaint. That figure included about $16,000 in an unpaid rent claim and more than $50,000 Timoshenko said he loaned Gu to invest in penny stocks. Timoshenko also wanted reimbursement of $1,160 that he had spent on court side basketball tickets on behalf of Gu.
Additionally, Timoshenko was seeking $10,000 that he claimed went missing from his nightstand when he was abroad for a poker tournament. He accused Gu of “mishandling” his cash after Gu “allowed a stranger to stay in Timoshenko’s room.”
Gu denied Timoshenko’s allegations in a answer to the complaint filed in September 2017.
Timoshenko, winner of $7.3 million lifetime in poker tournaments, made a run in this past summer’s World Series of Poker main event. He finished inside the top-1,000.

It’s a tale which is becoming increasingly more common – or publicized – in the poker world these days - a pro helps out a fellow pro and gets stung. This time it’s well-known tournament pro Yevgeniy Timoshenko on the receiving end of things, and he’s gone to court to claw back the $90,000 he claims he was done out of by ‘friend’ Frank Gu.
It’s actually an ‘old’ story, starting back in 2010 when Timoshenko and Gu agreed to share an apartment and rental costs – but as anyone who has watched the Ukrainian play will know – he takes his time over big decisions involving money!
The lawsuit filed in Manhattan Federal Court this week details a slew of different debts which Timoshenko alleges Gu accrued over the following year, including:

- $15,484 in rent payments,
- $2,181 in utility bills,
- $50,000 loan to Gu for ‘penny stock’ investments,
- $13,050 on a shared loan,
- $10,000 cash given to Gu for safekeeping while Timoshenko was in London
- $1,160 for courtside basketball tickets, and finally,
- $1,800 for legal fees related to Gu's penny stock dealing.
The story, as reported in the New York Daily News, is just another sad tale of poker’s predilection for loans, stakes and agreements which apparently aren’t important enough to write into a formal contract.
As expected, the NVG forum over on 2+2 is enjoying Timoshenko’s misery, ‘whitemares’ posting:
'I'm amazed at how trusting of others some high stakes players are when it comes to money.'
Timoshenko has earned some $7,323,813 in tournament play, so the debts are a small drop in his rather large ocean, but obviously the breach of trust has finally stung him into action.
Although not directly a poker-related scam in Timoshenko’s case, there are plenty of famous cases which did see pros being taken to the cleaners by people they thought they could trust.
Doug ‘WCG Rider’ Polk was one such unfortunate back in 2013, when he allowed a friend of Daniel ‘Jungleman’ Cates to stay in his apartment. Unbeknownst to Polk, Joshua Tyler – the most likely suspect in the scam according to Doug - used the opportunity to hack Polk’s laptop, setting the world’s best heads-up player for a $35,000 loss over the following weeks.
Although in this instance PokerStars refunded Polk from the scammers account, stating “We have reviewed the play with both player’s hole cards exposed. We are sure beyond any reasonable doubt that ‘Forbidden536’ was able to see your hole cards whilst they were playing against you,” in general there is little recourse except under law – and it has to be proven.
