Kurganov Hits the Rail

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Igor Kurganov

Igor Kurganov jammed for 30,400 and found Ivan Luca behind him reshoving. Kurganov had {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} and beat Luca's {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} as the board ran out {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

That put Kurganov up back to well over 60,000 but he lost that not much later. The PokerStars Team Pro opened for 5,400 under the gun and Ivan Luca called right behind him. Christoph Vogelsang squeezed to 17,000 from the cutoff and Kurganov called, Luca folded.

Kurganov checked on {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and saw Vogelsang bet 13,000. Kurganov shoved for just under 50,000 and Vogelsang called.

Igor Kurganov: {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Christoph Vogelsang: {J-Spades}{9-Spades}

The {3-Clubs} on the turn and {Q-Clubs} on the river weren't cards Kurganov was looking for and he exited the tournament area.
