"Careless" Israelashvili Scores a KO

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We came upon Roland Israelashvili, who had shoved all in from the small blind for 37,700 over a raise to 7,800 from the player in the cutoff, David Urban.

"I know you're careless," Urban declared. "I've played with you before."

After a couple of minutes, Urban called it off for about 32,000 with {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, and he needed help against {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. The board brought none: {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

"I am careless," Israelashvili confirmed casually as he dragged the pot.

Racener Loses a Chunk

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

After a middle position open to 2,300 and a call from the button, John Racener made it 8,200 in the big blind. The opener mucked but the player on the button came along after asking to see Racener's remaining stack. Racener made the same bet on the {6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop and was again called. He checked the {4-Clubs} and immediately folded to an all-in shove.

Kevin MacPhee

One player limped in from the hijack before the next two players jammed. One was Evangelos Vettas, who had about 9,600 in the cutoff, and Kevin MacPhee followed suit on the button for 8,700. The limper tank-folded.

Vettas: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
MacPhee: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

MacPhee saw he was dominated and stood to leave. The board ran out {3-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts} and he headed for the exit.

Spielmann Dodges Ladies

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in middle position had a raise to 4,000 in front and he called a subsequent reraise to 11,000 from Kevin Spielmann, who was in the big blind. They saw a {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop and Spielmann bet about half of his remaining chips, 12,000. His opponent jammed and Spielmann called for 26,500 total.

Spielmann: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Middle position: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Spades} {7-Hearts} and Spielmann collected a double.
