Katchalov Doubles through Law
Level 29
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Harry Law opened the small blind to 180,000 with 
. "Ow, this can get messy" said co commentator Marc Convey as the graphics revealed Eugene Katchalov had 
in the big blind.
Katchalov made it 450,000 and action was back on Law. He announced all in, Katchalov double checked his cards and called. Law frowned on getting such a quick call. He might have expected to maybe be dominated, but probably was ok seeing he had a coinflip situation.
The 
flop was no harm for Katchalov. Law had some backdoor outs but the 
on the turn ensured he needed to hit an ace or jack to win it.
The 
on the river was a blank and Katchalov doubled up into second place.
