Hand #50 - Jon Kalmar has the button in seat 8, Alex Kravchenko moves all in under the gun for 2.66 million, Hevad 'Rain' Khan moves all in over the top from the small blind, and Raymond Rahme folds the big blind.

Kravchenko shows {K-Spades}{J-Spades}, and Khan shows {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} -- it's a race situation, and Kravchenko needs to improve to survive. (Raymond Rahme walks over to his fans to tell them he folded A-Q.)

The flop comes {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, and a big part of the crowd loudly cheers as Kravchenko flops a pair of jacks to take the lead.

The turn card is the {A-Hearts}, and Khan needs a three to bust Kravchenko here.

The river card is the {4-Diamonds}, and the Russian fans cheer and break into song as Kravchenko wins the pot with a pair of jacks to double up to 5.86 million in chips. Khan is knocked down to 6.715 million.
