Faraz Jaka opened to 22,000 from late position and the action folded to Super High Roller winner Eugene Katchalov who moved all in for 132,000. Jaka thought for a moment then tossed in enough green T25,000 chips to make the call.

"Hurry!" tablemate David Robinson shouted. "You're going to miss the most exciting hand of the tournament!"
