Katchalov Can't Make it to the End
Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Artur Vyborov open-raised to 65,000 in the cutoff, and the short-stacked Eugene Katchalov committed his last 110,000 from the small blind. Vyborov quickly called.
Eugene Katchalov: K♥8♠
Artur Vyborov: J♦9♥
Katchalov remained ahead by pairing on the 8♣5♦Q♣ flop. The Q♦ turn changed nothing, but Vyborov made a straight on the 10♠ river, sending the Ukrainian poker legend to the rail in the dying minutes of the day.
