Kurganov Busts to Reigning WSOP Main Event Champ
Level 10
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
We missed most of the action in Igor Kurganov's bustout hand, but we do know he fell to 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Joe McKeehen.
With a board showing two aces, McKeehen checked to Kurganov, who bet 125,000 and left himself less than 50,000 back. McKeehen then check-raised all in and Kurganov seemed none too pleased. He thought for a bit, but eventually resigned himself to a call with 
for trip aces. Unfortunately for him, McKeehen held the 
, and with a six on the board, that meant he held a winning full house.
