Newey Doubles Through Kurganov
Level 9
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Igor Kurganov busted in the last hand of the night on Day 1 in a brutal set-over-set situation, but he has re-entered here on Day 2. Unfortunately for him, his luck hasn't changed thus far.
In a recent hand, there was about 60,000 in the pot and a board reading 
when Paul Newey moved all in from the big blind for 75,000. Kurganov was on the button and he thought long and hard before making the call with the 
for top pair. Newey then rolled over the 
for top pair with a better kicker.
The 
river missed Kurganov and Newey doubled through the German.
