Hands #87-90: Kachan Doubles, Gross Short
Level 27
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Hand #87: Viktor Skoldstedt raised to 105,000 and Jeff Blenkarn called out of the big blind. On the 
flop, Blenkarn check-raised all-in and Skoldstedt folded after making a continuation bet of 130,000.
Hand #88: Mike Kachan moved all in from early position for what looked like 640,000. All opponents folded and he showed a five.
Hand #89: Andrew Egan raised to 100,000 and claimed the blinds and antes.
Hand #90: Steve Gross moved all in and Mike Kachan called all in for less. All other players folded and they turned over their cards:
Gross: 
Kachan: 
The 
flop was no sweat yet, but the 
turn now gave Gross an open-ended straight draw. It wasn't meant to be as the 
river gave Kachan a double up for 690,000 and Gross is now really short.
