Kurganov Gets There To Double Through Winter
Level 21
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Sean Winter opened with a raise to 240,000 from the cutoff and action folded to the big blind where Igor Kurganov called.
The flop came down 
and Kurganov checked. Winter put out a bet of 425,000 and Kruganov tanked for a bit. After one time extension, Kurganov moved all in for 2,550,000. Winter thought for a bit himself then called.
Igor Kurganov: 
Sean Winter: 
The turn was the 
which didn't change much but did give Winter two pair. The river was the 
though and that filled in Kurganov's straight. It allowed him to double up to over five million while Winter was left short with a stack just over one million.
