Eugene Katchalov - 15th Place

The table folded around to Eugene Katchalov who completed from the small blind. James St. Hilaire contemplated a moment, then tossed out some orange (5000) chips -- a raise to 60,000 total. Katchalov quickly announced he was all in, and St. Hilaire again thought a while, then called.

St. Hilaire winced as Katchalov turned over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

. St. Hilaire tabled {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

. "Did this once before," said St. Hilaire, referring to a similar hand from late yesterday in which he'd won.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

, and suddenly Katchalov went from way ahead to way behind. The turn was the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and the river the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

, and Katchalov is out. St. Hilaire is at 925,000.
