Neuville Loses Flip to Katchalov
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Viliyan Petleshkov opened the action with a raise to 4,500 from under the gun and Pierre Neuville moved all in for just under starting stack from the button. Eugene Katchalov peeked at his cards in the big blind and moved all in to isolate. Petleshkov shook his head and got out of the way to see yet another coin flip take place.
Pierre Neuville: 
Eugene Katchalov: 
The flop came 
and Katchalov improved to a pair of aces. After a blank 
turn and 
river, the second big name was sent packing early on.
