Stud-8

Eugene Katchalov{x-}{x-} / {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / {x-}
John Hanson{x-}{x-} / {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} / {x-}
Hoi Cheung{x-}{x-} / {5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{A-Spades} / {x-}

The action was picked up on fifth street as Eugene Katchalov got all of his money in against John Hanson and Hoi Cheung. On sixth street, Cheung check-called a bet from Hanson. On seventh, the same action happened with Cheung check-calling.

Hanson turned over the {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for aces and eights and an eight-seven low. Cheung mucked and Katchalov showed the {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a weaker two pair. Haonson scooped the pot and Katchalov was eliminated.
