Kravchenko Klobbered 2 years ago

After more than seven hours without an elimination we've lost Alex Kravchenko at about 1 a.m. PDT. Here's how it all went down:

More Aggression from Yang

As has become his custom, Jerry Yang raises to $1.5 million UTG. He's made it $1.5 million to go in the majority of the pots he's played at the final table and this time Tuan Lam makes the call in the small blind. On a flop of 8d 10s 7d Yang makes a $3 million continuation bet and it's enough to force the relatively conservative Lam to throw his hand in the muck.

Like he has all day, Yang is picking up pot after pot simply by opening the betting and continuing his aggressive play.

Long Play

Tournament Director Jack Effel just informed the crowd inside the Amazon Room it took 60 hands to get down to four players and since then there have been 102 hands without another elimination.

Kravchenko Wakes Up

After taking the majority of the last few revolutions off, Alex Kravchenko finally spoke up making it $1,750,000 to go pre flop. As tight as he's played lately, he couldn't find a caller and picked up the blinds and antes.

A few hands later Kravchenko moves all in from the big blind and although Tuan Lam ponders the call for a while, he lays it down.


KGB agent Kravchenko: Assassinated.

Kravchenko Goes to Sleep

The very next hand he comes out raising again to $2.1 million from the small blind. Yang moves all in and Kravchenko makes the call, showing As Kd to Yang's pocket eights 8h 8c.

The flop comes Qd 9h 8s, giving Yang a set of eights. The turn is the 4c and Kravchenko is drawing dead. The river is the meaningless 3s and the Russian will be eliminated in fourth place.

Kravchenko will earn $1,852,721 for his efforts, while the rest of the field is now guaranteed at least $3.05 million.

The final three players are on a quick break. In the meantime, check out the chip counts right here .
