Perner Out as Katchalov Catches Again

Bernhard Perner wasted little time in getting his chips into the middle after dinner break. He moved all in from under the gun for 295,000 total and Eugene Katchalov asked for a count from the next position. After finding out how much the all-in bet was for, Katchalov made the call.

Katchlov first showed {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}. It seemed as if Perner waited for the ESPN cameras to show his cards. When they arrived he then rolled over {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}.

The flop came down {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}, keeping Perner in the lead. The turn was then the {5-Hearts} and Perner was still ahead. There was a pause and then the dealer dealt the river... the {J-Spades}! Unlike a lot of players that would be devastated by such a beat, Perner simply picked up his card protector and waited in silence for the staff to come over and escort him to payouts.

Katchalov on the other hand, moved up to 5.2 million in chips.
