Kurganov Doubles Through Winter

Level 11 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Igor Kurganov had an all-in raise in front of him in the small blind after someone opened on the button, and Sean Winter woke up with another jam in the big blind, covering Kurganov's 534,000.

Kurganov: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Winter: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

"Sorry, Sean," Kurganov said with a smile.

Sure enough, the flop came {7-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, giving Kurganov aces. The turn and river were bricks, and he doubled through.

Greenberg Finds Lucky Double

Level 11 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Igor Kurganov opened under the gun for 47,000 and action folded to Larry Greenberg in the small blind. Greenberg pushed for 304,000 total and Rainer Kempe in the big blind went into the tank. The German contemplated his options for a bit before he let it go. Kurganov called instantly.

Larry Greenberg: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Igor Kurganov: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Greenberg doubled with his rivered straight.

Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Niall Farrell opened to 35,000 from middle position and James Chen reraised to about 508,000 from the small blind. Oleksii Khoroshenin (with about 160,000 in the big blind) folded, and Farrell tanked for a little while before he reraised all in for about 700,000.

"I have to call," said Chen. "I didn't see your open."

Farrell: {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Chen: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board came down {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, giving Chen nines and deuces to eliminate Farrell.

Mateos Busts Fast in Biggest Pot Yet

Level 10 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Dietrich Fast
Dietrich Fast

Adrian Mateos was on the button when we got to his table and facing a raise to 130,000 from small blind Dietrich Fast. Mateos came back with 310,000 and Fast called after some thought.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Fast check-called 180,000. The turn was a {2-Diamonds} and both players checked. The river: {8-Clubs}. Fast bet 500,000. Mateos tanked a few minutes and then announced he was all in. Fast took his own turn in the tank, and Mateos called a clock after a couple of minutes. The tournament supervisor came over.

"I don't think it's been enough time," Fast said. "This is the biggest pot of the tournament."

The tournament supervisor evidently agreed to some extent, as he told Fast he was going to wait another minute and then put him on the clock. Fast took all the time he could, and as the tournament supervisor was about to hit zero, he dropped in calling chips.

Mateos turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. Fast mucked what the dealer revealed to be {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Mateos had just over 880,000, and Fast was covered by about 10,000, so gathered his belongings to exit.

Set Under Set Sets Juanda Back

Level 10 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

As we arrived, the turn was already out in a hand between John Juanda (cutoff) and Byron Kaverman (button). Kaverman had 60,000 in front of him and Juanda had check-raised to 235,000. Kaverman called in position.

The {5-Clubs} completed the board and Juanda pushed all in. Kaverman snap-called for 375,000 total and would soon give Juanda the bad news as Juanda's {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} turned out to be coolered as Kaverman rolled over {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.
