Kravchenko Finds Ladies, Surprises Everyone
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Morten Mortensen raised to 6,700 under the gun and Alex Kravchenko in the cutoff was the only caller. Both players checked the flop, and they proceeded directly to the turn, when Mortensen bet out 7,900. Again, Kravchenko flat-called. Mortensen reverted to checking the river and Kravchenko checked behind.
"Ace-high?" hazarded Mortensen, turning over what we believe was . But it was no good - Kravchenko turned over a surprisingly premium and increased his stack to 205,000. Mortensen looked slightly baffled, and merely dipped to 320,000.
