Kurganov Increase His Lead

Igor Kurganov
Igor Kurganov

Igor Kurganov raised to 120,000 and Daniel Negreanu called.

"Let's check in the dark…something different," said Negreanu.

The dealer gave us a flop of {10-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {3-Clubs} and as Negreanu had already checked, Kurganov bet 100,000. Negreanu peeked at his cards and made the call. On the turn we saw the {9-Diamonds} and the same action ensued except this time Negreanu was no longer in the dark. Kurganov made it 290,000 and Negreanu made the call. The final card was the {Q-Diamonds}, Negreanu checked and Kurganov bet 650,000.

"I would like a different river card please…count that," Said Negreanu pointing at first to the {Q-Diamonds} and then his opponents bet.

In the end Negreanu folded his hand and Kurganov continued to extend his lead at the top.
