[edit] Poker
Katchalov has been playing poker professionally since 2003 and in March 2011, he joined Team PokerStars Pro [1] and now plays under the screen name ‘E.Katchalov’. However, Katchalov was previously well known online under his former non-Team PokerStars Pro screen name 'MyRabbiFoo'.
In addition to his 2007 WPT win, he has had several cashes in World Series of Poker events, a European Poker Tour event in March 2005, and a win in the June 2007 Bellagio Cup III's $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em event.[1]
At the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in 2011, Katchalov bested 37 other players in the $100,000 Super High Roller tournament, defeating Team Pokerstars Pro Daniel Negreanu heads-up, to win $1.5million.[3] 10 days later he came 2nd place in the PCA $10,000 High Roller - 6 Max event winning $131,920 [2].
As of December 2011, his total live tournament winnings exceed $6,900,000.[4]
