Pahuja Takes a Chunk From Kurganov

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Mukul Pahuja
Mukul Pahuja

With about 6,000 in the pot, on a board reading {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Mukul Pahuja checked from the big blind.

Igor Kurganov was in middle position and bet 2,500. Action was back on Pahuja and he decided to put in a check-raise to 8,000. Kurganov called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}. Pahuja led out for 14,000. Kurganov went into the tank and called.

The river was the {7-Spades}. Pahuja checked to his opponent and Kurganov fired out a bet of 40,000.

Pahuja thought about it for a full minute before piling some chips in the middle, indicating a call.

Kurganov tabled {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks, and Pahuja tabled {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for two pair, tens and twos. Kurganov was left with just 22,000 from the 121,000 chip stack he started with today.
