Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Igor Kurganov raised to 90,000 on the button and Stephen Chidwick moved all in from the small blind for around 350,000. Kurganov wasted no time in asking for a count, but snap-called and that was a very bad sign for Chidwick.

Stephen Chidwick: {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Igor Kurganov: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

Chidwick picked up no hope on the {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop and was drawing dead on the {3-Spades} turn, making the {5-Diamonds} river a formality. Kurganov further added to his chip lead and now holds almost three times as many chips as JC Alvarado and Christopher Kruk.
