Katchalov it Around

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Three handed action has been very slow. There is an awful lot of checking as post flop play is passive. It seems as if all players are waiting to get heads-up.

Eugene Katchalov will make a play when the spot is right though, as this hand proves. Dragan Kostic raised to 350,000 from the button and both players called. The flop came down {j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs} and all three players checked to the {3-Diamonds} turn.

Martin Schleich led for 575,000 but soon faced a raise up to 1,250,000 from Katchalov. Kostic ducked out of the way and Schleich amitted defeat and folded.
