Kravchenko Stays Alive

Happy_Freaked

John Hennigan raised under the gun to 13,000, and Alexander Kravchenko moved all in for his last 38,000 chips. The action got folded back to Hennigan who quickly made the call.

Alexander Kravchenko

The window card was the {A-Spades} , and Kravchenko was ready to get up and leave. The other two cards on the flop were the {6-Spades} and {A-Clubs} , and this gave the Russian pro a full house. He repositioned himself at the table, and after the {7-Spades} on the turn and the {K-Hearts} on the river he got himself double up.
