Ukraine Beats Up On Russia
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Eugene Katchalov and Alex Kravchenko may both be members of Team PokerStars Pro but there's no team in I when battle commences over the baize.
Kravchenko raised to 28,000 and both blinds called (Katchalov in the BB) to see a flop.
The action was checked to the Russian who continued for 42,000. The small blind took a long while to fold but Katchalov snap shoved when it was his time to act. Kravchenko poked out his bottom lip out, shrugged and made the call all-in for another 120,000 or so.
Katchalov: for a pair and flush draw.
Kravchenko: for top pair.
Katchalov got instant service on the turn to finish the act and eliminate Kravchenko.
