Igor Kurganov raised to 135,000 and JC Alvarado called to see a flop of {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Alvarado checked and subsequently check-raised from 100,000 to 250,000 in order to pick up a call by Kurganov.

On the {10-Spades} turn, Alvarado continued for 400,000 and Kurganov called before the {5-Spades} fell on the river. Alvarado moved all in and Kurganov snap-called, turning over {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a straight draw that got there. Alvarado had {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for top pair and the stacks were counted. Kurganov had 1.81 million and Alvarado was covered by one ante only to finish in second place. He takes home €319,750 for his efforts according to the deal, while Kurganov gets the trophy and €371,250 to show for.

A recap of today's action is to follow.
