Eugene Katchalov and Tomas Soderstrom chopped a small pot with the bottom end of a four-card straight on the board before Soderstrom soon after opened to 32,000. Vladimir Troyanovskiy three-bet to 87,000 on the button and the Swede quickly got out of the way.
Then, Katchalov made it 35,000 to go and Troyanovskiy three-bet to 102,000 in the small blind. That was enough to break through any further resistance and again the pot was shipped to Troyanovskiy.
