History Lesson
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 23
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Success is no stranger to Roland Israelashvili. He has 14 cashes in WSOP bracelet events and last year he won the WSOP-C Main Event right here at Caesars Atlantic City for $264,715. When asked about the victory by a tablemate, Israelashvili informed him that he had 50,000 chips when the final table started and the chip leader had 2 million.
Right now he's near the bottom of the barrel, but if history is any indication then you can't count Israelashvili out of it.
Mitchnick Out; Two Tables Remain
Level 23
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Lynne Mitchnick had just survived one all-in hand versus Brian Ali. She'd committed the last of her short stack with 
against Ali's 
, then earned a chop when the board ran out 
.
Talk of her missing the flush followed, to which she replied "Yeah, I'll take a chop."
Her survival was short-lived, however, as soon she was all in again against Ali. This time she had the preflop advantage with 
to Ali's 
. And she was still ahead through the turn as the board read 
. But the on the river paired Ali's kicker, and Mitchnick is out in 19th, earning $6,134. Ali meanwhile looks to have chipped up over one million, the first player to cross that threshold.
A brief pause now as they redraw for the final two tables.

Pahuja Crippled
Level 23
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Tim Begley started things by raising to 27,000 from early position and the action folded to Adam Lippert who three-bet jammed near the button. Mukul Pahuja re-shoved right behind him and Begley quickly folded.
Showdown
Lippert:
Pahuja:
"Unbelievable," Lippert sighed, standing up.
The 
flop was innocent, but the 
on the turn was lightning in a bottle. Pahuja needed to catch one of the two remaining kings to survive and did not when the rivered.
Lippert still looked upset.
"Sorry," he said to Pahuja's brother on the rail.
"It's ok," he responded. "It's part of the game."
Pahuja was left with around 50,000 chips while Lippert is up around chip average with 500,000.
Mukul Pahuja Eliminated in 18th Place ($7,280)
Level 23
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Tim Begley open-pushed all in for 213,000 from middle position, then it folded to Adam Lippert in the cutoff who reraised all in over the top. Mukul Pahuja committed his last 35,000 from the small blind as well, and after Kevin Wilkie folded the three tabled their hands.
Pahuja
Begley
Lippert
After four community cards it looked as though we might have a double-knockout, as the board came 
. But the on the river saved Begley, awarding him the 415,000-chip pot. Lippert was knocked back to 330,000, while Pahuja hit the rail in 18th place, earning $7,280.
Angelo Modica Eliminated in 17th Place ($7,280)
Level 23
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Brian Ali limped in from middle position and the action folded to Angelo Modica who jammed in the small blind. The big blind released and Ali tank-called.
Showdown
Ali: 
Modica:
The flop fell 
which didn't hit Modica, but it gave him three extra outs to counterfeit Ali. The on the turn added four more outs to a straight, but the 
on the river was a big fat brick and he was eliminated from the tournament.
Ali on the other hand is our chip leader with over 1.2 million in his stack.

Mike Kosowski Eliminated in 16th Place ($7,280)
Level 23
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Mike Kosowski opened to 26,000 from early position and found calls from both Albert Winchester and Roland Israelashvili.
The flop fell and the two checked to Kosowski who continued for 61,000. Winchester check-raised to 167,000, Israelashvili folded, Kosowski moved all in and Winchester called.
Kosowski: 
Winchester:
Kosowski needed a jack to win or a three or running pair cards to chop. Unfortunately for him the turn and river came , respectively and he was eliminated from the tournament. Kosowski will have to settle with $7,280 for his 16th place finish, but we're sure he's still sitting on some dough from his Million Dollar Challenge victory.
Winchester is now our chip leader after winning the million-chip pot.
