Altergott's Check-Raise Fails
Level 6
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Max Altergott was the single caller to Igor Kurganov's three-bet of 25,500 after the latter had squeezed from the button. The flop came 
, Altergott checked and Kurganov wanted to know how much his opponent had left.
Altergott moved back his arms and Kurganov, seemingly satisfied, bet 27,500. Altergott check-raised to 55,000 but Kurganov made the call to see the 
on the turn. Altergott checked a second time and Kurganov responded by betting 65,000 this time but the winner of this event last year quickly folded.
