Tilly sends Kurganov into the tank
There’s been a lot of talk in the commentary booth about what sort of player Jennifer Tilly is, with Phil Hellmuth opining that she plays a bit faster than most give her credit for and Jesse May saying that he thinks the Premier League format suits her game. Well they both now seem very smart

Well they both now seem very smart as a hand played out that illustrated both points nicely. The action was started by Dan Shak, he made it 20,000 with A♠ 10♠ he picked up calls from Tilly 10♦ 9♦, Tobias Reinkemeier 9♠ 9♥ and Igor Kurganov K♥ Q♠.
The K♦ J♠ 6♦ flop was checked through and the 7♥ then hit the turn. First to act Kurganov led, Shak folded, Tilly then moved all-in. This got Reinkemeier out the way but Kurganov thought long and hard before letting his hand go and Tilly, who gave nothing away, took the pot.
