Kravchenko Drawn and Quartered

[user66118]

Alex Kravchenko raised from the cutoff seat, and Daniel Alaei reraised out of the small blind. Kravchenko called, and it was heads up from here on out.

The board ran down {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

, with Alaei betting and Kravchenko calling on each street. In the end, Kravchenko tabled {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

against Alaei's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

. The two men shared the high half of the pot with their matching pairs of aces. Unfortunately for Kravchenko, he had no low to go with his black aces, and he was only good for one quarter of the pot.
