The action folded around to Igor Kurganov on the button who made it 850,000 to go. Jack Salter called in the big blind.
The flop came down 
, Salter check and made the call when Kurganov bet 1,500,000. On the 
turn Salter checked again, Kurganov bet 3,9 million and Salter moved in over the top for 13,8 million. Kurganov instantly called and turned over 
, but though it was ahead of the 
of Salter, the Russian still had to fade both a flush- and a straight draw on the river.
The 
on the river was as blank as they get, and Kurganov surged to 50 million chips while eliminating Salter in the process.
