Igor Kurganov Eliminated in 16th Place
Level 17
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Sylvain Loosli raised to 90,000 from early position and the action reached Igor Kurganov, who shoved for 270,000 from the button. The players in the blinds got out of the way, and Loosli then quickly called.
Kurganov: 
Loosli: 
Kurganov needed to avoid an ace or hearts, but instead the 
flop left his heart with little hope. The 
turn changed nothing and the 
river even completed the nut flush for Loosli, sending Kurganov to the rail in 16th place.
