It's Over For Georgia; Valeri Bakhturidze Eliminated in 33rd Place (�5,457)
Level 24
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Team Georgia, who's here in Rozvadov with a bus full of players and reporters, just saw their last man go down. With the hope of the nation resting on his shoulders, Valeri Bakhturidze had to make a move with his short stack sooner or later.
Bakthuridze shoved 
from the small blind and Mihai Malone called in the big blind with 
. At least ten Georgians on the rail jumped on their feet, and the five Georgian based reporters in the room swooped in to capture all the action as it unfolded.
It wasn't meant to be for the last Georgian, as the board 
failed to improve his jack-high. Receiving a thunderous applause from his countrymen, Bakhturidze headed for the rail in 33rd place.
