Happy_Freaked

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Today was not Eugene Katchalov's day and he was just knocked out with just 30 minutes on the clock. When we arrived on the scene Team Pro Theo Jorgensen said the following.

"So you were genuinely that excited?

"Yeah, I enjoy the game," Christopher Day responded as he was stacking the last of what once was Katchalov's stack.

"Can you please write in the update that I was not trying to needle or offend him?" Day asked your truly as Bryn Kenney explained to us what happened.

Day had raised preflop and Katchalov defended from the big blind. The flop brought out and Katchalov check-raised all in for around 35,000 chips. Day called with and Katchalov's did not improve. Katchalov, who finished third in EPT Barcelona Season 8 and also third in the EPT London High Roller during Season 6. It's likely that we'll see Katchalov back in action on Thursday when the High Roller starts.

Jamming With Nguyen

Happy_Freaked

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Khiem Nguyen has had an amazing day and keeps applying pressure on his opponents. After a raise to 5,000 he just three-bet to 13,000 and one player folded after which Mihai Manole made it 31,000 from the small blind. The initial raiser folded and Nguyen moved all in almost right away.

Manole had 133,500 chips left behind and went into the tank for two minutes before the clock was called. Manole took another 20 seconds and then folded his cards.

Nguyen keeps raking in pots and he's still second in chips.

Korotkikh Wins, Korotkikh Yells

[user101598]

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

"YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Mikhail Korotkikh, a chronic screamer as you can see here and here, yelled at the top of his lungs.

The entire tournament room fell silent, and then the players burst into laughter.

When we arrived at the table, the board read . The Russian had sitting in front of him, and Pascal Vos had just mucked two kings.

Korotkikh doubled to 160,000 chips, while a frustrated, red-faced Vos dropped down to 156,000.

Shockingly, Korotkikh was given a one-round penalty.

Mikhail Korotkikh	160,000	69,500
