Eiler Scores Lucky Split Pot
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Eugene Katchalov raised to 22,000 on the button and Andreas Eiler moved all in for just over 20 big blinds out of the big blind. Katchalov called and the first preflop showdown for quite some time unfolded.
Andreas Eiler: 
Eugene Katchalov: 
The flop of 
gave Katchalov two pair, while Eiler improved to the inferior two pair on the 
turn. However, the 
river gave both players the equally strong hand and the pot was chopped.
One hand later, Eiler open-shoved from the small blind and Vladimir Troyanovskiy eventually folded with his eyes rolling.
