After the action folded to him in late position, Roland Israelashvili raised the pot, making it 70,000 to go. Juha Vilkki sized up his opponent's remaining chips and then dramatically heaped a stack of 25,000 denomination chips into the middle for a pot-sized reraise. This forced Israelashvili all-in and he made the call to put himself at risk.
Showdown:
Israelashvili: 
Vilkki: 
Israelashvili was in the lead for the moment but Vilkki's hand had plenty of potential and we were off to the flop. The dealer spread the 
across the felt and Vilkki took the lead with his pair of kings. The 
on the turn gave Israelashvili a lifeline with a club flush draw, but the 
on the river missed him entirely and Vilkki's two pair were best.
Roland Israelashvili will pocket $20,863 for his run to the final table, while Juha Vilkki rebuilt his once dominant chipstack slightly with the win.
