Kurganov Falls to Trickett

Level 7 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Igor Kurganov - Eliminated
Igor Kurganov - Eliminated

Sam Trickett made it 60,000 to go from early position and Igor Kurganov three-bet the action to 165,000 from the next seat over. Action folded back around to Trickett and he cut out a four-bet to 270,000. Kurganov called.

The flop brought {J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs} to the felt and Trickett continued out for 360,000. Kurganov spent right around four minutes in the tank before announcing an all in raise for what looked to be about 1.2 million total. Trickett instantly dropped forward calling chips and the hands were turned over.

Trickett: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Kurganov: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Kurganov led at the moment with his pocket queens and continued to hold the lead as the {4-Diamonds} dropped down on the felt. Unfortunately for Kurganov, the {10-Clubs} completed the board on the river and gave Trickett a winning straight to the jack. Kurganov exited the tournament area and Trickett increased his already massive chip lead to about 10.5 million.
