Greenwood Doubles Through Kurganov

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Igor Kurganov raised to 9,000 from the cutoff and Sam Greenwood on the button stared at his chips. He counted how much he had left (111,000 after an earlier encounter that had cost him half his stack) and with about 10 seconds left he decided to make it 24,000.

Both blinds released and action was back on Kurganov. Kurganov thought about it for a bit, tossed in a time breaker chip to add a minute to his tank, and eventually shoved all in. Greenwood instantly called. Kurganov could only roll his eyes and sigh.

Igor Kurganov: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Sam Greenwood: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

The {8-Spades}{K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} flop did nothing for Kurganov. Although the {J-Spades} on the turn gave Greenwood a flush draw on top of his already leading outs, it resulted in at least a chopportunity for Kurganov.

It wasn't meant to be as the {5-Clubs} hit the river and Kurganov was left with just 3.5 big blinds.
