Eugene Katchalov had what appeared to be a three-bet in front of him in the cutoff, with a T1,000 chip on the felt. Mikhail Zavoloka had a four-bet to 2,800 in the small blind, and Katchalov called. He called 2,000 more on the 
flop. When Zavoloka bet 5,000 on the 
turn though, Katchalov released in short order.
