Katching a King

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Can Eugene Katchalov win $3.8 million in one week?
Can Eugene Katchalov win $3.8 million in one week?

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.

Jaka: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Katchalov: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Jaka's lead was squandered when the flop fell {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} giving Katchalov a pair of kings. The {3-Spades} on the turn did not improve Jaka's hand, nor did the {7-Diamonds} on the river, doubling Katchalov to 275,000 chips and dropping Jaka to 700,000.
