Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

With the board reading {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and almost 90,000 in the pot, action was on Igor Kurganov. The Russian Team PokerStars Pro bet 65,000. Boika put in a raise to 135,000 and kept just 40,000 behind.

That send Kurganov back, and he agonised over his decision. Eventually, after offering a time bank chip, he settled on a fold.

"Show one card," begged Kurganov. Boika didn't comply. "It's such a good spot to show one card," Kurganov added, but Boika mucked his hand face-down and raked in the pot.
