Igor Kurganov Can't Wait to Come Back to Sochi
Igor Kurganov paid a flying visit to Sochi earlier this week, and it seems like he thoroughly enjoyed his time.
"It's a great venue. I love being surrounded by the mountains in a place like this. It's great during the PokerStars Championship, but I cannot wait to come back during ski season!”
Like most players, Kurganov has been playing SCOOP for the past month in the lead-up to the event here in Sochi, but not as much as the full-time online grinders.
“I played half the SCOOP days and it hasn’t gone too well for me. Fortunately, Sit & Go’s went well.
"Liv has made a few very deep runs but fell just shy of the final table a couple of times. I enjoyed the series a lot and look forward to WCOOP”
Kurganov is leaving Russia today to fly to Las Vegas in time for some of the biggest tournaments this year, as well as spending time with girlfriend Liv Boeree.
"I will play the $300k Super High Roller Bowl and the €111,111 High Roller for One Drop there.
"Afterwards Liv and I will play the team event together for REG-charity and afterwards go back to Europe before the WSOP Main Event.”
