Evgeniy Katymaev Rises Early on Day 1a

Steve Burgess suffered an early setback to lose around one third of his stack while Evgeniy Katymaev had won as much. Katymaev is also involved in the latest hand which features an open raise to 500 and two callers with the Russian in the big blind. The initial raiser continues for 600 on the flop, resulting in two calls.

Katymaev then leads the turn for 2,500 and collects the pot without resistance.

Evgeniy Katymaev – 48,000
Steve Burgess – 18,000
