Alexander Kravchenko Finishes 13th in Paris WPT


Alexander Kravchenko began the fourth day of the World Poker Tour in Paris with 183,300 chips, slightly below average but still comfortable. The tournament featured a strong structure with levels lasting 1.5 hours. Kravchenko's first notable hand involved a re-raise to 39,000 against Michael Quick, who folded, convinced that Kravchenko had at least a pair of aces.

However, Kravchenko's fortunes took a turn when he lost a significant portion of his stack. A French opponent called a 3-bet with Js Ts and hit a higher pair on the flop, leaving Kravchenko with only 130,000 chips. Despite this setback, Kravchenko continued to play aggressively, attempting to rebuild his stack.

Unfortunately, Kravchenko's efforts were not enough to keep him in the tournament. He was eliminated in 13th place with a prize of 46,955 euros. His final hand involved a pre-flop all-in with 5h 5d against an opponent who had 6x 6x. The turn card, 6h, gave his opponent a set, leading to Kravchenko's elimination.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
