Vogelsang Calls With Bottom-Pair to Bust Kurganov

Jack Salter was first to act and limped under the gun. Igor Kurganov over limped from late position, the small blind completed and big blind Christoph Vogelsang checked his option.

All four of them checked on so the on the turn was seen for free. Action checked to Kurganov and he bet 5,500. The small blind folded, Vogelsang called, Salter folded.

Heads up to the river and Vogelsang checked again. Kurganov pushed for 22,800 and action was on Vogelsang. The German high-roller took a fair amount of time before he eventually called.

"Straight!" Kurganov shouted.

But since it wasn't pineapple and there was no 2-card straight possible, Kurganov quickly admitted he had nothing. Kurganov showed and Vogelsang tabled for the winner.

Salter was sure not to let the bottom-pair call go unnoticed, while Kurganov got up and conversed a bit with Vogelsang about the hand. The Team Pro is out, Vogelsang up to over 160,000.
