Kabrhel Cracks Two Pairs of Aces; Salter and Kurganov Eliminated

Level 5 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Igor Kurganov opened to 45,000 from under the gun and Martin Kabrhel called in middle position. Jack Salter three-bet to 202,000 from the small blind and Kurganov called. Kabrhel called as well, creating a pot of more than 600,000 already preflop.

Salter was first to act on the {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop and checked. Kurganov bet 195,000 and Kabrhel raised with a T-500,000 chip, specifying an inaudible amount in the 400k range. Salter shoved relatively quickly all in for 805,000, which brought it back on Kurganov.

The Russian opted to cold-call Salter's shove and matched the 805,000. Kabrhel wasted no time in coming over the top all in for 2,209,000 total. Kurganov had 1,280,000 behind after calling Salter's shove, which made it a decision for all his chips. He slumped back in his chair and thought for several minutes before calling Kabrhel's shove as well.

Jack Salter: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Igor Kurganov: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Martin Kabrhel: {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Both Salter and Kurganov held pocket aces but Kabrhel was the one in the lead with two pair. Neither the {6-Diamonds} turn nor {5-Clubs} river changed the action, which gave Kabrhel all the chips and ended Salter's and Kurganov's first attempt.
