Bill Perkins bet 8,000 into what looked like about 30,000 on a board of {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. His neighbor in the big blind, Fedor Holz, made it 32,000. Perkins called and they saw a {k-Clubs} river. Perkins checked and Holz bet 85,000.

Perkins went deep into the tank, using three of his four time extensions. Finally, he called, but he couldn't beat {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a straight.

Kurganov Bows Out

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Igor Kurganov
Igor Kurganov

Igor Kurganov has been on a nub for a while and he finally ended up all-in, trying to spin his last 15,000 into more than a double up. He was in the big blind, pushing in his five bigs following Andrew Lichtenberger's open and Mikita Badziakouski's flat-call. Lichtenberger isolated the action when it returned to him, forcing Badziakouski out of the way.

Kurganov: {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Lichtenberger: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}

It was a fair race but Kurganov couldn't connect to the {9-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board and ended up empty-handed.
