Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov is up to 645,000 after a big pot against Walid Bou-Habib that saw the qualifier eliminated.
Bou-Habib raised to 17,000 from under-the-gun and was both blinds (Katchalov and Craig Hopkins) defended to see a

Bou-Habib continued for 21,000 when the action was checked to him. Hopkins folded after Katchalov check-raised to 70,000. Bou-Habib called though and then faced a 150,000 bet on the
