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.
