Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Eugene Katchalov was raised in Brooklyn, New York.

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.

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.
