Katchalov Takes #1
Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
On the first hand of the day, Eugene Katchalov had the button, and he raised to 55,000 to open the pot. Nick Schulman called in the small blind, and they went heads up to the flop.
The dealer fanned , and the action check-checked to the turn. Schulman took the lead now, sliding out a bet of 75,000. That wasn't going to get it done; Katchalov raised to 225,000, and Schulman was forced to fold.
