Gotta Katch 'em All

We caught up with the action to see the player in the small blind, Eugene Katchalov, and David Singer looking down at a flop of {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

With 3,800 in the pot from preflop action, the small blind led out for 2,300. Katchalov called and Singer got out of the way. The {9-Diamonds} struck the turn and the small blind fired out once again with a single orange t5,000 chip. Katchalov decided to stick around.

The river paired the board with the {Q-Spades} and the small blind slowed down. Katchalov bet 7,500 and the small blind threw away his hand.

"Would you have called a shove?" asked the small blind.

"I'd rather not say," replied Katchalov as he stacked his newly earned chips.
