Alex Kravchenko; 32k and Rising

Alex Kravchenko raised before the flop with {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} and received a single caller. {6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} was the flop, and his opponent led out for 4,250. Kravchenko thought for almost two minutes before calling with his overpair. The turn and river brought the {8-Clubs} and {9-Clubs}, as both players checked the rest of the way to the showdown. The unknown player showed {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Kravchenko's jacks were good enough to take down the pot. The Russian now sits with just over 32,000 in chips.
