River Helps Kranvchenko

Action folded all the way around to Alexander Kravchenko in the small blind and he put in a raise, which his opponent in the big blind quickly called. Kravchenko led out on the {J-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop, which the big blind quickly raised. After a call, the dealer burned and turned the {J-Clubs}.

Kravchenko check-called a bet, and the both players checked the {9-Diamonds} river. The big blind showed {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}, but it was no good against the {9-Spades}{2-Spades} of Kravchenko.

The {9-Spades} on fourth street was enough for Traniello's opponent who folded after another again.
