Katchalov Back in the Lead
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Eugene Katchalov had a rivered pair of aces paid off by Vladimir Troyanovskiy on a board of 
and that kicked off a series of small hands that vaulted him back into the lead.
Katchalov bet the 
flop for 40,000 and Troyanovskiy check-called before then check-folding the 
turn when facing a second bet worth 100,000.
One hand later, Troyanovskiy raised to 50,000 and Katchalov called. On the 
flop, the action went check, check. Katchalov's bet of 50,000 on the 
turn was called before another bet of 150,000 on the 
river then did the trick to force a fold from Troyanovskiy.
