Small Pot for Kurganov
Sam Grafton won the first two pots with little contest, exclaiming that he was now the chip leader. But he lost the third to his new neighbor Igor Kurganov.
Kurganov, having just sat down for his first hand, opened the cutoff for 15,000. Grafton called from the button and Ben Heath called from the big blind. On a flop of [6h8d3c], the action checked to Grafton who bet 31,000 in position. Heath folded, Kurganov wasted little time calling. Both checked the [7d] turn and [Ks] river.
“Oh no!” Kurganov said, showing [7h7c] for the turned set. Grafton quietly mucked.
