Kurnaz Doesn't Like River, Wins Anyway

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

In one of the last hands at the last level, Serkan Kurnaz opened to 1,600 on the button and got called by Igor Kurganov. Kurganov check-called 1,600 more on the {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, then 3,600 more on the {2-Spades} turn. Kurganov checked once more after the {6-Clubs} fell on the river.

"I didn't like the river," Kurnaz said as he checked it back.

Kurganov showed {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for second pair, but it was beaten by Kurnaz's {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for two pair.

"I'm such a nit," Kurnaz said.
