Is 2014 the Next Big Year in Eugene Katchalov's Poker Career?

A closer look at the player statistics page of @Eugene Katchalov on RankingHero reveals an interesting pattern. There seems to be a three-year cycle in his live career earnings chart, with major peaks about every three years: 

Eugene’s first registered live tournament cash came in December 2004.

In December 2007 he earned his WPT title and $2,482,605 dollars at the WPT Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic. 

Just about three years later, in January 2011, he won a WSOP bracelet, and the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Super High Roller event with a frist prize of $1.5 million; since then he has been after the elusive #triplecrown. An EPT win would get him into the exclusive Triple Crown (WSOP, WPT, and EPT title) club which only has five members to date: @Gavin Griffin, @Roland De Wolfe @Jake Cody @Bertrand Grospellier and @Davidi Kitai 

Could 2014 be the year for the next big peak in Eugene Katchalov's career live earnings?

It has certainly started out extremely well, with a second-place finish in EPT Deauville Main Event  that brought in $518,981 to sweeten the disappointment at not getting the final jewel for his Triple Crown: "I'm satisfied with second place. I've got a lot of money to soothe my wounds."

Next Eugene got ITM at L.A. Poker Classic, finishing 40th with $26,660 in the $10,000 buy-in main event won by @Chris Moorman.

And in Vienna he has been making all the poker news titles with his latest feat - live multi-tabling!

Katchalov got to heads-up in the Eureka High-Roller Event all while playing AND making it to Day 2 of the European Poker Tour with an above-average stack of chips! The payouts for 1st and 2nd place in the Eureka High-Roller are €170,000 and €107,000, so that’s another nice stack added to his 2014 earnings even if he doesn’t win.

It looks like 2014 is ‘written in the stats’ for Eugene Katchalov - let’s wait and see if it is written in the cards, as well :)
