Latz Eliminates Kurganov
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Igor Kurganov has just been eliminated from the tournament at the hands of Day 1B chip leader Hendrik Latz.
Kurganov, who cashed in the €100,000 Super High Roller earlier this festival (3rd for €1,128,300), got it in from the small blind with 
on a 
board. Latz, seated under the gun, instantly called as soon as Kurganov pushed his stack to the middle. With 
, he didn't think the decision was all that hard.
Kurganov needed a king or queen to stay alive, but wouldn't get it; 
on the river.
This festival might not be over for Kurganov yet, there's still a €25,000 High Roller to be played and we might just see him enter it tomorrow. For the Main Event Kurganov has to settle for €24,400, just a couple of euros shy of tomorrow's buy in.
