Kings Run into Aces; Ryan Fee Eliminated by Igor Kurganov
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Just prior to the three-table redraw, the defending champions of the Tag Team event were eliminated as Ryan Fee fell to Igor Kurganov.
As told to us by Kurganov, Fee opened to 10,000 in middle position and Dylan Wilkerson three-bet to 38,000 from the small blind. Kurganov four-bet jammed with the biggest stack of the bunch from the big blind and Fee called all in for about 240,000. Wilkerson tanked for a bit before he folded ace-king.
Fee tabled pocket kings, but Kurganov turned over pocket aces. Fee found no help from the runout, busting in 27th place while Kurganov has grabbed the chip lead for his team.
