As we were returning from our last round of chip counts, we noticed Mikael Thuritz had the all-in "triangle of death out in front of him and Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov was contemplating what to do. There was about 300,000 in the pot on a board reading {3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and Katchalov had 276,000 behind.

A couple of minutes ticked by, but eventually Katchalov dropped in some chips to signify a call. Thuritz's face dropped and Katchalov must have known he was good as he tabled the {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} for a pair of jacks. Indeed it was good as Thuritz mucked his hand and sent the majority of his chips over to the Team PokerStars Pro.
