Katchalov KO'd by Trickett

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Eugene Katchalov
Eugene Katchalov

Following a raise to 3,300, both Eugene Katchalov and Sam Trickett made the call to see a {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} flop fall.

The initial raiser continued for 3,700 only to have Katchalov raise to 9,200. With the action on Trickett in the big blind, he moved all in for close to 90,000 to force the initial raiser out as Katchalov deliberated for a few moments before committing his final 25,000 more.

Katchalov: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Trickett: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}

With Katchalov needing an ace or ten, the turn and river landed the {9-Diamonds} and {K-Clubs} to see him fall to the rail as Trickett climbs to 135,000 in chips.

Little Out Kicks Chan

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Elliot Hebdon opened to 3,200 from middle position, and was called by Ying Chan in the cut-off, as well as Jonathan Little in the blinds. The flop came down {8-Hearts}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, as all three players checked their options, before the {5-Diamonds} fell on the turn. The action checked around to Chan, who bet out 5,000, which was only called by Little. The river brought the {k-Hearts}, and Little checked once more, before Chan quickly bet out 9,000. The bet was called, before Chan rolled over his {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, for two-pair and a nine-kicker. Little then tabled his {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for the winning hand, much to the disappointment of Chan, who shook his head after the completion of the hand.

Laak Releases to Winzeler

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Phil Laak opened to 3,200 from the cutoff and Hans Winzeler defended his big blind to see a {J-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} flop.

Laak tossed in a continuation-bet of 4,500 which Winzeler check called before being faced with a bet of 16,500 when the turn landed the {3-Clubs}.

Winzeler deliberated for close to two minutes before calling as both players checked the {5-Spades} on the river.

Winzeler tabled his {J-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Laak folded while slipping to 26,500 in chips.

Busquet Rising

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We arrived at the table, just as the player seated under the gun plus one, moved all in for his last 21,600 in chips. The action folded around to Olivier Busquet in the cut-off, who made the quick call, as the button and blinds got out of the way.

Busquet: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} to Busquet take out a player, as he rises above 200,000 in chips.
