Katchalov Catch-a-lot

Eugene Katchalov
Eugene Katchalov
At Table #1, Eugene Katchalov raised to 15,000 from the button, Tom Roupe folded in the small blind, and John Murphy made the call from the big blind. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Murphy bet 20,000, Katchalov reraised all in with his remaining 72,800, and Murphy called.

Katchalov showed {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the nut flush draw. But Murphy had {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the made straight and a straight flush draw.

Katchalov caught the {2-Clubs} on the turn, and the {3-Diamonds} on the river meant he'd doubled up to 150,000. Murphy is at about 140,000 now, with Roupe holding the remaining 310,000.
