WTF Eugene?????

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Eugene Katchalov, all smiles.
Eugene Katchalov, all smiles.

When we reached their table, Team PokerStars Pro's Eugene Katchalov and Vanessa Selbst were high-fiving because they had bet out two other opponents and were heads-up going to the turn with the board reading {9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}. The turn was the {q-Diamonds}, Katchalov check-called a bet, and the river was the {6-Clubs}. Both players checked.

Katchalov tabled {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} for two pair; sevens and sixes. Selbst couldn't help but laugh.

"What the f****, Eugene???????" she asked before mucking.

Katchalov just giggled.

"Wot?" Luke Schwartz chimed in. "'e 'ad a flush draw."

The entire table erupted in laugher as Katchalov raked in the pot.
