Large Double for Kurganov
Another monstrous multiway match-up saw Kahle Burns open with [ahqh], flatted by Preben Stokkan with [JcJs], only to find Igor Kurganov three-betting (now in the cutoff) with [KhKd] to 575,000. Burns called, but Stokkan took the brakes off, moving all-in; Kurganov alone made the call, his tournament life at risk. It wasn’t so risky after the [Kc2s4d] flop, however, and Stokkan was drawing dead by the turn.
