Level 10
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Igor Kurganov raised to 4,500 from early position and Steffen Sontheimer came along for the ride on the button. The flop came 
and Kurganov continued for 7,000. Sontheimer called and the 
rolled off on the turn.
Kurganov fired another 14,000, only to have Sontheimer raise to 41,000. Kurganov called and the 
paired the board on the river. Kurganov quickly checked and Sontheimer instantly snapped his fingers to signal a check as well. Kurganov tabled 
for a full house and Sontheimer just laughed as he mucked his cards.
