Seat 7: Alexander Kravchenko - 330,000
Alexander Kravchenko comes into the final table as the official short stack, but if he can manage to get himself some chips, the rest of the table better look out.
Kravchenko holds nearly $3.4 million in career tournament winnings, 22 WSOP cashes, four WSOP final tables and one gold bracelet. He's also got numerous EPT and WPT cashes on his resume and is a member of Team PokerStars Pro, representing Russia.
Kravchenko's best year came in 2007, also the year he won his bracelet. He won the $1,500 Omaha Hi/Lo Split 8-or-Better event for over $228,000 and became the first Russian player to ever wrap a piece of gold WSOP jewelry around his wrist. That same year he also final tabled the Main Event to win over $1.85 million for his fourth-place finish. All together, Kravchenko banked nearly $2.3 million in 2007 alone.
He currently sits third on the all-time Russian money list, 16th on the European all-time money list and 7th on the money list for Europeans at the WSOP. This year, Kravchenko already has five WSOP cashes including one final table.
