Kurganov Doubles Into the Lead
Level 17
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Christopher Kruk made it 90,000 to go first to act and Igor Kurganov flat-called from one seat over on the button. On the 
flop, Kruk continued for 85,000 and Kurganov called before the 
on the turn brought a second barrel for 300,000 and a call by Kurganov.
The 
river completed the board and Kruk moved all in, Kurganov snap-called for 725,000. Kruk was caught with the fingers in the cookie jar and briefly flashed 
for a bluff gone wrong, while Kurganov had the 
for kings and jacks. Suddenly the PokerStars Team Pro now holds the lead with four players remaining after being the shortest stack not long ago.
