Kurganov Doubles; Finger Triples in Same Hand

Level 10 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Igor Kurganov raised to 4,800 from the cutoff only to have Ami Barer three-bet to 11,700 from the button. Martin Finger called off his last 5,000 from the big blind, Kurganov called Barer's raise, and a side pot was created heading into the {q-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Spades} flop.

Kurganov check-called a bet of 9,900 and then checked for a second time on the {10-Clubs} turn. Barer moved all in and Kurganov reluctantly called off for 31,500.

Kurganov: {j-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Barer: {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Finger: {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

All three players were drawing live, meaning the river could have big implications. It did too, at least for Finger as the {6-Diamonds} gave him two pair to triple. Meanwhile, Kurganov won the side pot with a pair of kings.
