Boris Kravets opened the action from early position with a raise to 400. The cutoff, button and small blind players all called.

Kravets continued for 500 on 2♦A♦10♣ and was called by the button and small blind.

The small blind led for 1,200 on the A♣ turn and both Kravets and the button made the call.

Kravets fired 3,100 on the 6♦ river and only the player on the button called.

Kravets flipped over 4♦3♦ and it was good enough to drag in the pot and get off to a hot start.
