Isra Races for His Tournament Life

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Roland Isra three-bet all in from the small blind with the {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and received a call from the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} Nick Jivkov in late position. It was a classic race, but Isra needed to improve to stay alive. The {K-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop was no help and neither was the {10-Diamonds} turn.

Things looked bleak for Isra, but he found salvation on the river when the {J-Clubs} spiked. He doubled on the hand to 70,000 while Jivkov dropped to 190,000.
