A short-stacked Eugene Katchalov got it all in pre-flop against David Oppenheim. Katchalov had {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, a slightly better ace than Oppenheim's {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Katchalov's rail predicted two eights on the flop, but it was Oppenheim who paired up, {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. ("Goddammit," said the rail.) The turn {q-Diamonds} and river {j-Hearts} eliminated the boy from Brooklyn and sent Oppenheim on to Day 3 tomorrow.
