He must also forever be in love with Q-10

Yevgeniy Timoshenko aka "Jovial Gent" is one of the world's top ranked players with an astonishing record in the PokerStars Sunday Million...

Winner of the biggest regular online tournament, the PokerStars Sunday Million, online poker sensation Yevgeniy “Jovial Gent” Timoshenko is having a great year so far.

His greatest achievement to date is clearly beating online pro apestyles heads-up to win just over $250,000 in the Sunday Million. He must also forever be in love with Q-10, for after raising and calling a re-raise from apestyles pre-flop, he proceeded to crack apestyles KK on a Q-10-3 board in a pot effectively worth $115,000 (second place received $135,000 and they were both equal in chips).

Yevgeniy is clearly not a one hit wonder either - he has won the PokerStars daily $100 rebuy for over $30,000; won the PokerStars Sunday $200 rebuy for over $60,000; and got another sick result in the Star’s Million - finishing fifth for $59,000. Any complaints of rigged accounts on PokerStars should quickly be directed towards Yevgeniy.

He also has a variety of other deep finishes in all the other major tourneys on the web. A final table in the FullTilt 1k Monday for $14,000; A win in the Bodog Sunday 100k Guaranteed for $25,000; and a fifth in the UltimateBet Sunday $200k for $11,000.

This is obviously one serious player - many people would consider themselves lucky to make the final table of the Sunday Million once in their lives - let alone twice. Known as “atimos” on PocketFives.com he is currently ranked ninth in the world. A player of this quality will not be making many mistakes - if he sits at your table you will probably be in a lot of trouble.
