Tom Marchese opens to 18,000 from middle position and Igor Kurganov three-bets to 52,000 from the hijack. Marchese calls, the flop is 
, and Marchese checks. Kurganov bets 35,000 to get a call before the 
turn. Marchese check-calls another 70,000 and the board finishes with the 
river.
One last check from Marchese and Kurganov announces all in. Marchese would be the one at risk with ~290,000 behind and he calls after a short tank.

Kurganov: 
The case ace on the turn made a set of aces for Kurganov and top pair/top kicker for Marchese was second best.
Igor Kurganov – 1,200,000 (150 bb)
Tom Marchese – Eliminated in 15th Place ($22,995)
