Katchalov Races For His Tournament Life

Juha Helppi opened the action with a raise to 32,000 from the under-the-gun position. When action reached Marcin Wydrowski on the button, he opted to put in a three-bet to 77,000. The small blind quickly got out of the way, and then Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov thought for about a minute before moving all in for 261,000. Helppi folded, and Wydrowski thought for about two minutes before making the call.

Showdown
Katchalov: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Wydrowski: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

Katchalov got it in good, but he needed his eights to hold in order to survive. Despite the pleas from Wydrowski's rail, the board ran out a clean {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Katchalov doubled.
