Kurganov Eliminates Negreanu Before the Break
Level 10
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Igor Kurganov raised it up from the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu was in the big blind. He wasn't sure what to do so he just ripped all in for a little over 200,000. Kurganov made a quick call and Negreanu was at risk.
"Do you have aces?" Negreanu asked.
"No," Kurganov responded as he timidly tabled 
.
"Good, we're chopping then," Negreanu laughed as his 
hit the felt.
Negreanu was unable to catch the ace he was looking for on the 
board and he quickly left the tournament area before the first break. The remaining 27 players are heading on their first 20-minute break of the day.
