Kings Ain't No Thang for a Ship It Holla Balla

Igor Kurganov opened for 32,000 under the gun only to have Andrew Robl, who was recently featured in the new poker book Ship It Holla Ballas!, three-bet to 110,000 from the small blind. Kurganov responded by four-betting big and Robl called off for 260,000 total.

Robl: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Kurganov: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

Robl was way behind and in desperate need of an ace, and he didn't have to wait long as the {A-Spades} appeared in the window followed by the {J-Diamonds} and {Q-Diamonds}. Kurganov's kings were cracked, but he could still retake the lead with either a king or ten. The {2-Hearts} turn wasn't it, and neither was the {8-Clubs} river.

Robl has been nursing a short stack most of the day, but now he finds himself second in chips.
