Igor Kurganov was talking to Justin Bonomo and Mustapha Kanit over on one of the outer tables, conversing about the charity $26,000 Turbo event later today.
When he was done, we asked him how his tournament had come to an end. He was kind enough to share the details of his bust out.
Kurganov opened under the gun for 18,000 and saw his neighbor Ivan Luca three-bet to 51,000. Action folded back to Kurganov and he shoved for about 350,000. Luca called.
Ivan Luca: 
Igor Kurganov: 
The board ran out 
and Kurganov exited the tournament.

Jason Koon, who won this event last year, opened for 18,000 under the gun and Daniel Negreanu called from the button. Both blinds folded and it was heads-up action to the 
flop, which went check-check.
The 
turn saw Koon check-call a bet of 35,000 and then he checked for a third time on the 
river.
Negreanu bet 100,000, and Koon, who had 200,000 total behind, moved all in. It was only another 100K to "Kid Poker," but he didn't seem happy about the spot.
He used a time extension and then folded, later claiming he had turned a set.

Steffen Sontheimer's bust-out hand just aired on the live stream.
The German pro got his stack of 238,000 all in preflop and found himself in dire straits against Christopher Kruk.
Kruk: 
Sontheimer:
Sontheimer needed a miracle, but that didn't happen as he was left drawing dead on the turn after an 
run out.

Up at the feature table before the three-table redraw, action folded to Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen in the small blind and he simply moved all in to put the pressure on the short-stacked Byron Kaverman, who called off for 85,000.
Kaverman: 
Hunichen: 
It was a flip, but Kaverman needed to improve to stay alive. That proved easier said than done as the board ran out a dry 
.

Dan Shak opened under the gun for 20,000 and his neighbor Daniel Negreanu called. Chris Hunichen, right next to them, squeezed to 85,000 and action folded to Shak. Shak tanked for a bit before shoving for 225,000 total. Negreanu folded, Hunichen called.
Dan Shak: 
Chris Hunichen:
Negreanu admitted having had folded 
. Shak wasn't so sure about his chances, claiming jacks hadn't been his hand the last year.
Still, the board brought no trouble for Shak as he doubled on 
. Hunichen now short.

Bill Perkins:
Bryn Kenney: 
The board ran out 
and Perkins wished the table good luck before exiting the tournament area.
