Carris: K9
Board: J1027Q
Katchalov was well ahead with his pair of ladies but the flop gave Carris a gutshot straight draw to go with his over card to Katchalov’s pair. The turn was a blank and Katchalov was in great position to double up. But Katchalov made an unwanted set on the river that made Carris’ straight and Katchalov was eliminated in 7th place.
