Kornuth and Kurganov Battle Again

Level 20 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Igor Kurganov raised to 48,000 from the hijack and his neighbor Chance Kornuth three-bet to 130,000 from the cutoff. The button and both blinds released rather quickly but Kurganov called to see a flop.

On {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} it was Kurganov who check called a bet of 78,000 and he checked again on the {A-Diamonds} turn. Kornuth checked behind and the two of them saw the {2-Diamonds} complete the board. Kurganov checked for the third time and Kornuth took his time before betting a mere 85,000. Kurganov sighed, and paused for a bit before reluctantly tossing in the chips to call.

Kornuth showed {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a small flush, Kurganov tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for the winner.
