Kravets Busts Hadj
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Lavrentiy Ni opened to 18,000 from early position and Mehdi Hadj got his short stack of 14,000 into the middle. Action folded to Semen Kravets in the big blind, who reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 58,000. After some thought, Ni called.
With betting on the side, Kravets led out with a sized up bet of 150,000 on the K♣5♣4♦ flop, which forced out Ni.
Mehdi Hadj: A♦7♦ 
Semen Kravets: A♣A♠
Hadj was in trouble versus Kravets' rockets, drawing to backdoors, and although the 6♣ turn gave him some hope, the 10♦ river was a brick.
