King-Crackin' Kurganov

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst opened for 4,200 from the hijack only to have a short-stacked Igor Kurganov three-bet all in for 24,100 from the button. Action folded back to Selbst, who made a quick call.

Kurganov: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Selbst: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Kurganov was in big trouble, and the {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop left him drawing dead to either running hearts or queens. The {A-Hearts} turn kept the former possibility alive, and wouldn't you know it, the {J-Hearts} river completed it. With that, Kurganov cracked kings to double.
