Igor Kurganov has an extended list of poker credentials, with a number of notable finishes in big tournaments, including a victory in the European Poker Tour Grand Final High Roller for over $1.4 million. One thing he lacked, however, was a World Series of Poker Circuit gold ring, which he added to his collection after taking down the $3,250 High Roller event at Bally's Las Vegas for $99,899 against a field of 101 players.
Kurganov padded his all-time tournament cash total to over $10.45 million, the top number for any Russian player.
