Kurganov Soars Clear of the Field After Busting Newey
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Defending champion, Igor Kurganov, has stretched further clear at the top after scooping a huge pot off Paul Newey.
The pot was being passed to Kurganov and he recounted most of the hand to PokerNews. On the flop, Newey check-called a bet before he led for 13,500 on the turn. Kurganov raised this up to 27,000 and called when Newey three-bet to 68,000.
The river fell as the and Newey shoved for his remaining 75,000 with for the nut flush. Kurganov had bad news though as he opened for a full house. Ouch.
