Come Back, Alex!
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Alex Kravchenko was timed out in one hand where an opponent put him to the test for all his stack; there was no hanging around from the Russian a few minutes later though.
He opened to 9,500 and then snap-shoved for 82,500 when Manig Loeser three-bet from the small blind. Loeser was just as quick in calling.
Krachenko: 
Loeser: 
The board ran 
to make Kravchenko a set on the river. He was walking away from the table as the final card dropped and walked back with a rare smile across his face as his nearby supporters cheered.
