Kurganov Locks Horns with Shakerchi

The flo reads [7h][7d][9c] and Igor Kurganov (big blind) is first to act. He taps the table and checks. The next active player is Viktor Blom and we do not think he has every checked in his life! Blom bets 1,800 and Talal Shakerchi calls.

This puts the action back onto Kurganov who sits riffling some blue chips before springing into action and check-raising to 7,800. Blom folds but Shakerchi calls.

The turn is the [8h] and Kurganov keeps up his story and fires out a bet of 13,600. Shakerchi has seen enough and he relinquishes his hand.
