Katchalov Doubles Again
Action folded to Amir Mozaffarian in the small blind and the German player raised it up to 2,400. PokerStars Team Pro Eugene Katchalov in the big blind made the call.
Mozaffarian bet out 1,800 and Katchalov raised to 4,500 after a few seconds of thinking. Mozaffarian wasn't backing down though and three bet to 10,600. Katchalov four bet to 16,700 and Mozaffarian instantly pushed all in. Katchalov called it off for 33,800 total.
Katchalov confidently turned over 
for flopped trips. Mozaffarian showed 
for the flush draw (and backdoor full house draw).
The 
on the turn was of no harm for Katchalov, and neither was the 
on the river. Katchalov doubled again and plays well over average now after starting out today as one of the shorter stacks in the tournament.
