Igor Kurganov Eliminated in 5th Place ($249,160)

Action folded around to the blinds and Justin Bonomo raised from the small to put Igor Kurganov, who was in the big blind, to a decision for his approximately 300,000-chip stack. After brief consideration, Kurganov called to put himself at risk.

Kurganov had the preflop advantage and Bonomo needed to improve in order to stack him. The board ran out to give Bonomo queens up, so he took the pot to end Kurganov's deep run in this event.
