Kurganov Falls in Penultimate Hand; Andreev Takes Chip Lead

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Igor Kurganov
Igor Kurganov

There were just two hands left to be played at a table in the middle of the room, and boy did the fireworks fly.

It began when Igor Kurganov opened for 3,200 and was met by a three-bet from Andrey Andreev in the big blind. Kurganov made the call and the two saw a flop of {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Andreev showed he wasn't messing around when he quickly slid out a tower of blue T5,000 chips, which constituted a bet of approximately 65,000. Kurganov, who had about 140,000 total, tanked for a solid five minutes before announcing that he was all in. Andreev snap-called and Kurganov was caught.

Kurganov: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Andreev: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Kurganov stood up and watched as the dealer burned and turned the {5-Hearts}. He could now catch either a deuce or another five to win the massive pot, but neither materialized as the {9-Clubs} blanked on the river. With that, a new chip leader emerged.
