It was the first time that Igor Kurganov was all-in and for this heat at least it would be the last time.
The Russian opened to 16,000 with 10♥ 10♣, Jason Mercier re-raised to 33,000 with A♥ Q♠, Kurganov moved all-in for 157,000 and Mercier called it off. The 2♥ Q♥ K♥ was basically gin for Mercier, the 4♥ gave him the unassailable nuts and Kruganov was out of his seat before the J♦ hit the river.
“Phil Laak is happy as clam soup right now, he’s got four points locked up,” said Jesse May.
But four points is all Laak would get as a few hands later he three-bet all-in for 84,000 with A♦ 4♦ and original raiser Tobias Reinkemeier called the bet with K♥ Q♠. The K♦ K♣ 6♥ flop left Laak drawing slim and it was all over on the 9♥ turn.
Down to four now in the first heat.
