Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Eugene Katchalov was raised in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from New York University (NYU) with a business degree, but he has been playing poker professionally for the past four years. One of Katchalov's biggest scores in a live tournament came in a $5,000 no-limit event during the 2007 Bellagio Cup III, where he earned $118,785. He also won the Sunday $750,000-guaranteed tournament on Full Tilt in November of 2007, but nothing compares to the more than $2.4 million that he snagged for winning the 2007 World Poker Tour Five-Diamond World Poker Classic. Katchalov entered the televised final table as the chip leader and rode it all the way to victory. In addition to success at the poker table, Eugene co-founded Qlash in 2017, a new kind of Media company building and supporting Gaming & Esports Communities at the global & local level.
