Kurganov Finally Gains Some Traction
Level 8
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Igor Kurganov has had a rough day having busted this tournament three times already. He jumped in a fourth time, and if this hand is any indication it seems he may finally be headed in the right direction.
It began when Martin Jacobson opened for 7,000 under the gun and Kurganov three-bet to 17,000. Action folded back to Jacobson, who moved all in, and Kurganov snap-called off for 80,400.

Kurganov held the goods and he was rewarded when the board ran out a clean
