Katchalov's Turn to Double
Scott Seiver opened for 8,000 under the gun and picked up three callers up to Eugene Katchalov in the small blind. The Ukrainian pro opted to three-bet all in for 65,500, three folds ensued, and then Emil Patel called from the button.
| Showdown |
Patel:   |
Katchalov:   |
The 
flop gave Katchalov a big lead, but the 
did give Patel a gut-shot straight draw. Unfortunately for him, the 
river would not complete it and Katchalov more than doubled.
