Kurganov Disbelieves Attal Tale
Today seems much more stocked with early big moves and river check-raises and general stackery than Day 1A. Whenever a pile of 5k chips has coalesced in the middle of a table, it draws press over like vultures - and that's exactly what happened when Vincent Attal moved all in on the river of a board. He'd check raised Igur Kurganov who had 10k in front of him (but may have bet less and been waiting for change). The all in bet was 19,000 and Kurganov considered for a while before finally throwing in the call and showing for the straight which felt uncomfortable with the pairing river - but not uncomfortable enough to fold.
Attal heads to the rail with no look of grief, but a smile for the table.
