Day: 2
Team PokerStars Pro Igor Kurganov will start fourth in chips when the PokerStars Festival Sochi High Roller Day 2 gets underway later today.
Kurganov enjoyed the good and the bad of tournament poker on Day 1. On his first bullet he quickly tripled his stack before clashing with Andrey Andreev for a tournament chip lead pot to bust. However he soon grew his second bullet and is now looking to capitalise on that and find his way to a deep run.
Meanwhile Andreev soared even further ahead over the rest of Day 1's play and is only joined by Vanush Mnatcakanian in having a stack in excess of 300,000.
There are currently 26 players left, and with just 13 places paid half of the remaining players will go away empty hands. A min-cash is worth 225,000 RUB while first prize is a whopping 3,000,000 RUB.
Stay tuned to d9y.shop for all the action live from the Sochi Casino & Resort as we get one step closer to crowning a High Roller champion today.
