Koon Finishes Off Kurganov
Level 9
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Martin Jacobson opened for 9,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 25,000 from Jason Koon in the small blind. Igor Kurganov then called off his last 12,000 from the big, Jacobson got out of the way, and the cards were turned up.
Kurganov: 
Koon: 
Kurganov needed some help to stay alive, but he was left wanting as the board ran out a dry 
. Kurganov busted the $100K Challenge for a fourth time, and he has until the end of this level to decide whether or not he wants to fire a fifth bullet, which would pretty much use up the money he won when he finished runner-up in the $25K Challenge a couple nights back.
