Kurganov Surges to the Front
Igor Kurganov raised to 100,000 from the button and Daniel Negreanu called from the big blind. On the 
flop, Negreanu led for 150,000 and Kurganov called.
The turn was the 
and both players checked to see the 
land on the river. Negreanu fired 365,000 and Kurganov fired back with a raise to what looked to be 865,000. Negreanu was verbal in stating that he didn't expect the raise and then folded his hand. Kurganov offered that Negreanu could pick one card, but Negreanu said he didn't need to see it.
