Here Comes Katchalov
Eugene Katchalov has just gotten himself out of the basement.
The pot began with Saar Wilf opening to 125,000, and Katchalov three-bet shoved for about 650,000 total. When it folded back to Wilf, he spent a long while considering, probably not really wanting to grant the dangerous Ukrainian an easy double. After a quick conversation with himself, though, Wilf put in the call, and Katchalov was at risk of elimination. He was in fine shape, though.
Showdown
Wilf:
Katchalov:
The board ran out safe for Katchalov, and he faded the gutterball as the board came running . No longer the shortest stack now, the Team PokerStars Pro has found his double to climb back to about 1.4 million.
