Off to the Races: Jaka vs. Kurganov
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Igor Kurganov opened for 1,400 from the hijack only to have Nicolas Yunis three-bet to 3,100 from the cutoff. When action reached Faraz Jaka in the big blind, he put in a four-bet to 7,200, and Kurganov asked how much he was playing before moving all in. Yunis got out of the way and Jaka snap-called off for 35,800.
Kurganov: 
Jaka: 
It was a classic flip, and Jaka was looking to hold to stay alive. That's just what he did after the board ran out a lowly 
. Kurganov was left with just 4,700 after the hand.
