"I Love This Game!"
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
David Katav saw action folded to him on the button and made it 100,000 to go. Patrick El Kallas came over the top from the small blind for his last 595,000 and Katav called to send the two off to the races.
Patrick El Kallas: 
David Katav: 
El Kallas found himself in a coin flip situation at risk for his tournament life, needing to hold against Katav's big slick. The board came 
and he earned the double at Katav's expense as a result.
"I love this game!" said El Kallas as the river hit, seeing that he had held. There was a small friendly discussion between the two players as the next hand began and then they got back to business once all cards had been dealt.
