Three In a Row for Kurganov
With more than 22,000,000 chips, the first two pots were taken down by Igor Kurganov with all-in preflop moves (with [Ac9c] then [Jh8h]) that put his opponents to a simple yes/no test for their stacks (the answer was no, in both cases). The third hand, Kurganov opened with [Jd9c], defended from the big blind by his closest chip rival Kahle Burns with [7c3h]. Both players checked the [4dQc5d] flop, bringing the [tc] on the turn. Burns checked again, Kurganov bet 900,000 and took down the pot.
