Kurganov Sent to the Rail

Only seconds after Andreas Samuelsson was eliminated in 27th place, Igor Kurganov followed suit on the adjacent table. With the "Seat Open" callout still ringing in the ears, Mark Kelsall made the call out of the blinds to put Kurganov at risk for his last 10,200,000.

Kelsall's were trailing the of Kurganov, and the Russian plead the dealer for plenty of hearts to make both players a flush. It wouldn't be like that, however, as the board ran out , and Kurganov exited in 26th good for £22,500.
