Trying to get an interview with Phil Ivey may be even more difficult than trying to photograph the Loch Ness Monster. The World Series of Poker Media Director Nolan Dalla has outdone himself once again by being able to grab a recent interview with Ivey and you can check it out on WSOP.com.
The players are on their second break of the day. This one is thirty minutes rather than twenty minutes - the floor has to color up all of the green T25 chips, making this one of the biggest color-ups of the year.

It's been a great level for Roland Israelashvili, who finished 5th in the $50,000 Players Championship last month. We counted him at 48,000 a mere 20 minutes ago, but we just saw him take down a big pot that has upped his stack to 115,000!
We caught the action on the river with the board reading 
. Israelashvili's opponent had bet out 10,000, and we saw Israelashvili put in a raise to 30,000. His opponent tanked for about 30 seconds before calling, and Israelashvili said "I got it". He showed big slick, 
, for the nut straight, and his opponent could only show 
for top pair. Israelashvili is making a big move up the chip count chart as we near the second break of the day.
