Kurganov Out $500K
Level 11
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Igor Kurganov fired five bullets in this tournament, but it did him no good as he was just eliminated for the final table.
It happened when Jason Mercier raised to 13,000 under the gun, Kurganov three-bet jammed for 130,000 from the cutoff, and Fedor Holz moved all in from the small blind for 131,000. Mercier folded and Kurganov discovered the bad news.
Holz: 
Kurganov: 
Kurganov was looking for a six, but it never came as the board ran out 
.
If there's a silver lining for Kurganov it's that he finished runner-up in the $25K Challenge for AU$541,680, so he's still up $41,680 over the past couple of days.
