Six-Bet Gets the Job Done for Kurganov
Action folded to Mike "Timex" McDonald in the hijack and he raised to 5,000, which Igor Kurganov three-bet to 10,000 from the button. Andrew Lichtenberger was in the small blind and choose to four-bet to 31,000, which inspired McDonald to five-bet 52,500.
Kurganov thought long and hard before putting in a six-bet to 95,000, and it proved a wise decision as both Lichtenberger and McDonald released their hands.
