The fell on the turn, when checked to Kerkeni bet 6,000 and Morozovs smooth called once more. The river was checked through and Morozovs showed to win the pot.
On the next hand Jesper Hansen opened to 1,000 under-the-gun, he too picked up four callers so it was five-way to a flop, Hansen continued for 2,200 and both Kerkeni and Katchalov (button) came along. The turn was checked to Kerkeni, he bet 4,200m Katchalov called and Hansen folded. The river double paired the board, both players slowed down and checked, "King high," said Kerkeni showing , Katchalov opened to claim the pot.
After that hand Katchalov is up to 90,000.
