This match-up just doesn't want to end.

Igor Kurganov raised to 160,000 on the button and Daniel Negreanu made the call. The dealer dealt {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} and both players checked. Fourth street was {Q-Clubs} and Negreanu bet 215,0000, a bet that was called by Kurganov. On the river we saw the {4-Hearts} and Negreanu had just 730,000 remaining.

"I'm all-in," said the Canadian.

Kurganov spent the longest time in the tank yet, before eventually calling.

"I have an eight," said Negreanu.

"It's good," said Kurganov.

Negreanu{J-Hearts} {8-Spades}
Kurganov{A-Spades} {10-Clubs}

So Kurganov's ace high call was no good and we are back to even steven.
