Live! Classic Main (Day 3): 11th Place - Israelashvili ($6,589)

Level 20 (Blinds 3,500/7,000/1,000)

Players Remaining: 10

Chip Average: 327,000

Roland Israelashvili (Forest Hill, NY)
11th Place - $6,589

About two hands into the day, Charles Welch attempted a check-raise bluff on the river of a 200,000 pot.  It ended up unsuccessful as Putinas had rivered two pair and made the call.  The very next hand Roland open shoved from early position and Welch immediately called next to act:

Roland: A♣Q♠            Welch: J♥J♦

Flop: 2♣ 5♠ J♣

Turn: 2♦

River: K♥

The two players stacks had to be counted down after the hand, and Welch had Roland covered by only 3,000 in chips.  Welch recovers a little from his mistimed bluff, while the most accomplished player remaining in the field is sent to the cage to collect his winnings.
