Katchalov Gets Jam Through

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Eugene Katchalov
Eugene Katchalov

Three-way to the 10J46 turn, Xavier James, Eugene Katchalov, and Germ Sikma had gathered 27,000 in the pot. James then checked from the small blind before Katchalov bet 18,000 from the big blind.

Sikma called in middle position, while James folded after some time in the tank.

Katchalov continued his aggression by moving all in on the 3 river for about 25,000. Sikma instantly mucked his cards, conceding the pot to Katchalov.
