Roland Israelashvili (Forest Hill, NY)
Roland Israelashvili is definitely a “big name” in the poker world, and that’s not just a joke about his last name. Roland has more than $2.5 million in career tournament earnings and too many titles to mention. He owns three WSOP Circuit rings, one of which was for a Championship event. He also has two Borgata Open series titles.
He just added another notch to his resume with a win in the $1,100 NLH Turbo at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure earlier this month. The win was good for more than $30,000.
His largest single score was in the 2012 WSOP $50,000 Players Championship, where he finished 5th for almost $318,000.
