Kurganov Vaults Into the Chip Lead
Level 5
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
While we didn't catch the entirety of the action, Igor Kurganov was holding 
against Stephen Chidwick's 
. Both players had made trip aces, but Kurganov's was better with the better kicker. That sent Chidwick to the registration desk to re-enter, while Kurgaov moved into the chip lead after collecting the big pot.
