Kurganov Bombs the River

Level 2 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ben Tollerene opened under the gun with a raise to 5,500. Erik Seidel called in the next seat over. Igor Kurganov was in middle position and he made it 27,000. Tollerene called while Seidel folded.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Tollerene checked. Kurganov continued with a bet of 20,000 which Tollerene called.

Both players checked on the {A-Clubs} turn and the {J-Clubs} came on the river. Tollerene thought for a bit before checking just before his time expired. Kurganov didn't waste any time putting out a big bet of 155,000 and Tollerene quickly mucked, allowing Kurganov to take down the pot.
