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: 
Selbst: 
Kurganov was in big trouble, and the 
flop left him drawing dead to either running hearts or queens. The 
turn kept the former possibility alive, and wouldn't you know it, the 
river completed it. With that, Kurganov cracked kings to double.
