Kurganov Takes Hit
Igor Kurganov has more than $2 million in tournament winnings on his poker resume, but will need to do better here in the World Series of Poker Main Event if he wants to add to that. Kurganov didn't have a great start to the day and that has continued as we have just watched him double up a short-stacked opponent.
It was all in preflop, with Kurganov holding 
against his opponent's 
. The player was all in for 7,775 and it was looking like it was going to be home time. However, the 
board had other ideas, giving the player a straight and taking plenty of chips away from Kurganov.
