Kurganov Extends Lead at Stokkan’s Expense
Preben Stokkan opened in the cutoff for 240,000 with [Kc6c] and Igor Kurganov called with [5c5h] in the small blind. Stokkan bet 275,000 when Kurganov checked the [4hqdqc] flop, and was called. Both players checked the [Ts] turn, bringing the [2c] river. Check the third from Kurganov; Stokkan bet 700,000. Back to Kurganov who made the call to drop Stokkan under three million chips.
