Lucky Russian Cleared of Sneakiness

Alex Kravchenko and one other player made it to the river of a {10-?}-rag-{K-?}-rag-{4-?} board, at which point Mr. Opponent bet out 1,000 into a 2,300 pot. Kravchenko made it 3,000 and after some squirming Mr. Opponent called -- only to muck when Kravchenko turned over pocket fours for a rivered set.

"That's a sneaky Russian," said Greg Raymer. "I wasn't sneaky!" protested Kravchenko. The accusation was downgraded to "Lucky Russian," which everyone, even Kravchenko, could agree on.
