Babincev Takes From Katchalov

Level 1 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Eugene Katchalov bet 800 from the cut off and was called by Sergej Babincev in the big blind.

The flop came A♠10♣7♠ and Katchalov continued for 1,100. Babincev almost used all of his allotted 30-second shot clock before he check-raised to 4,000. Katchalov made the call.

The Q♣ landed on the turn and Babincev ramped up the aggression with a bet of 15,000. It didn't take long for Katchalov to wave the white flag and folded his hand.
