Houchins: 
"Fifty-fifty," Israelavshili said with a smile.

, but he was still well behind. Neither the 
on the turn nor the 
on the river improved his hand, and he was eliminated in 5th place for $35,213.
"First last year and fifth this year," he said to WSOP Media Director Nolan Dalla. "Not too bad."
