Igor Kurganov is the Champion... Not!
Daniel Negreanu raised to 160,000 and after a slightly longer than normal dwell, Igor Kurganov made the call. The flop was and Negreanu pumped the pot up with a check-raise to 380,000 after Kurganov had bet 180,000. The ever calm Kurganov made the call and we moved to the turn. The dealer threw the down and Kurganov bet 600,000. After a quick count Negreanu moved all-in and Kurganov called.

"It's a cooler...what a cooler," said Negreanu when he saw the cards of Kurganov.
Everybody crowded in around the table as Igor Kurganov was one card away from being crowned the High Roller Champion.
River:
"Chop it up," said a very calm Daniel Negreanu
