Hands #78-79: Kurshumi Swims on the River
Hand #78: Brian Yoon opened for 60,000 from the button and took down the blinds and antes.
Hand #79: Josh Bergman raised to 60,000 from the button and Josh Arieh called from the small blind. Ardit Kurshumi then three-bet to 165,000 from the big, Bergman folded, and Arieh moved all in. Kurshumi called off for 760,000 and the cards were turned up.
Kurshumi: 
Arieh: 
Kurshumi had some kicker issues, but they didn't get resolved on the 
flop, though he did pick up a gutshot straight draw. He needed to hit it too as Arieh had paired his eight. The 
turn improved Arieh to trips, which meant Kurshumi would stay alive with a jack and a jack only on the river.
Kurshumi's rail bellowed for a jack, and the dealer listened as the 
spiked on the river to give Kurshumi new life.
