Igor Kurganov raised to 45,000 from under the gun and was called by Elio Fox directly to his left, Thomas Muehloecker on the button, and Brian Rast in the big blind. The flop fell {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Rast checked to Kurganov who continued for 83,000. Fox made the call and both Muehloecker and Rast folded.

The turn brought the {q-Clubs} and both players checked the four-card straight board to the {3-Hearts} on the river. Kurganov checked again and Fox slid in a bet of 200,000. Kurganov check-raised all in for 673,000 and Fox gave it a brief thought before calling. Kurganov flipped over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and Fox tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for two pair. Kurganov headed to the rail and Fox stacked up the chip lead once again.
