Nair Finds His Heart

There was about 40,000 in the pot when we walked up the 
flop. It was three-handed, and Dan Kelly led out with the first bet. Jay Nair called, but Eugene Katchalov squeezed in a raise to 50,000. When Kelly folded, Nair moved in for 86,300, and Katchalov made the quick call to put him to the test.
Showdown
Nair: 
Katchalov: 
Katchalov had flopped the joint, but Nair was drawing live to eight of the nine remaining hearts in the deck.
Turn: 
Nair drills his flush right on fourth street, and now it's Katchalov needing to catch up. He's got one out; the would make him the winning straight flush.
River: 
It's the right suit but the wrong rank for Katchalov, and he's sent a big double up over to Nair. The latter is up to 210,000 now, dropping the former chip leader down to about 158,000.
