Karamalikis Eliminates Katchalov

Any hope of a member of Team PokerStars capturing the title has just come to an end as Eugene Katchalov was just eliminated from the tournament.

It happened when he and Jonathan Karamalikis, who won this very event last year, raised back and forth preflop until Katchalov was all in for roughly 580,000.

It was a bad spot for the Team Pro, and his best chance to survive was to catch an ace. The flop was no help, and neither was the turn. Katchalov was up out of his seat, and just as soon as the useless fell on the river, he made a beeline for the exit. With that, Karamalikis vaulted up to two million in chips.
