Katchalov Pays Off Smirnov

We didn't catch the action until the river with about 200,000 in the pot and a board reading {2-Hearts}{J-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Eugene Katchalov had bet 175,000, but was contemplating a raise from Mikhail Smirnov, who made it 400,000 to go.

Katchalov thought for about 90 seconds before tossing a call, but smiled and laughed when Smirnov rolled over {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a rivered two pair.
