Final Table Bios: Alex Kravchenko
Chip Count: 6.57 million
Hometown: Moscow, Russia
Alex Kravchenko was born in Archangel, Russia. He's married with two kids. He makes his living as a businessman, but if you've seen him play poker, he's all business. He displays very little emotion at the table and you can't get a read on him because he gives off the same intimidating blank stare.
Kravchenko is a self-taught poker player who's been dabbling in the game for over a decade. He's won over $219K in tournaments held in Europe and starting playing smaller-buyin tournaments about six or seven years ago in Moscow. He bought into the WSOP Main Event directly and could definitely afford it. He's the only other WSOP bracelet winner at the final table aside from Lee Watkinson. Kravchenko won an Omaha 8 event and beat Bryan Devonshire heads up to win. This is his third final table at the WSOP and he's cashed five times (not including the main event) for about $269K. He's also cashed in two previous WSOPs and cashed four times on the WPT.
