Eugene Katchalov raised, and from the small blind, Ian Gordon three bet. Katchalov made it four, and Gordon called. After the 
flop, Katchalov moved all in, and Gordon called. Eugene had been dealt 
, but Gordon flopped the second nuts with 
. The 
on the turn meant Katchalov had four outs to win the hand, but the 
wasn't one of them.
Katchalov left as quickly as possible to go collect his $248,831. This cash puts him over $4 million in career live cashes.
Ian Gordon and Richard Ashby are now heads up for the bracelet. They toasted each other with the champagne Ashby's friends had delivered from the buffet. No one seems likely to settle in for an all night (or morning) heads up battle.
