Katchalov Needs a Jack-Ball
Eugene Katchalov got his last ~1.3 million chips into the middle before the flop, and he found himself in a very favorable spot. It was his dominating the of Tomeu Gomila, but the news would not remain so rosy for Katchalov.
The flop pierced a big hole in his double-up hopes, and he let out a little head shake as the news sunk in. The turn ended his backdoor outs, leaving him dead to the three-out jack.
"Where's the jack-ball?" our own donpeters asked in a fine case of foreshadowing.
River:
The room exploded in shock, and the only one who didn't immediately react was Katchalov. It was about ten seconds before he finally let a broad smile of relief cross his face, saved by the river to earn that much-needed double up. We've got him at about 2.75 million now...
... and he's all in again as we speak! Details coming.
