Katchalov Flushes the Toilet

Faraz Jaka de-hatted
Faraz Jaka de-hatted

In without a doubt the fastest match of the day, Faraz "the Toilet" Jaka has been eliminated by Eugene Katchalov. Katchalov raised his button pre-flop, then called Jaka's re-raise. Jaka bet the {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop and the {a-Hearts} turn. Katchalov called the flop bet and raised the turn bet all in, with Jaka quickly calling.

Jaka: {9-Spades}{4-Spades}
Katchalov: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Jaka flopped top and bottom pair but was out-done by Katchalov's middle set. When the river fell {7-Clubs} Katchalov was the first Spades player through to the second round.
