Katch and the Ladies

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Antonio Esfandiari raised to 5,500 from the button, and Eugene Katchalov three-bet to 20,000 straight from the big blind. Not to be outdone, Esfandiari four-bet right back to 55,500, and Katchalov flatted this time to see some community cards.

The board ran {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {A-Spades} {6-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} with six uneventful checks leading to a cheap showdown. Katchalov showed his {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} first, and it was good. Esfandiari mucked with a frown, dropping right back to his starting stack with about 251,000.
