Kurganov Bombs the River

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On the turn with the board showing {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Dominik Nitsche and Igor Kurganov were facing off from the small and big blind respectively. Nitsche checked over to Kurganov who put out a bet of 16,500. Nitsche then check-raised to 50,000. Kurganov called bringing the pot to about 125,000 total.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and Nitche tanked through one time extension before he finally checked. Kurganov then dropped into the tank, thinking through one time extension as well before he announced a bet of 150,000. Nitsche snap folded so Kurganov took down the pot, chipping up to over 300,000.
