Hand #95 - Alex Kravchenko

Hand #95 - Raymond Rahme has the button in seat 1, Alex Kravchenko limps from the small blind for 400,000, and Jerry Yang checks his option from the big blind. The flop comes {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and both players check.

The turn card is the {A-Hearts}, Kravchenko bets 600,000, Yang raises to 2.6 million, and Kravchenko goes into the tank.

After about two minutes, Kravchenko makes his signature all-in move, where he stands up and pushes forward his entire stack at once. Kravchenko is all in for 10.35 million, and now it's Yang's turn to go into the tank.

After more than a minute of thinking, Jerry Yang folds, and Kravchenko's fans start cheering and chanting in the stands. Tournament Director/Announcer Jack Effel jokes, "Another round of vodka here."

Alex Kravchenko takes the pot, increasing his stack to 13.95 million.
