PHOTO: WORLD SERIES OF POKER

EVENT #5 |
1,500 POT LIMIT HOLD'EM |
639 ENTRIES | 862K PRIZEPOOL


Nick Jivkov had to endure some kind of torture once we got to five-handed play during the 1,500 Pot Limit Hold'em event where Bryan Pellegrino (how held the chip lead coming into final day play), Jonathan Aguiar, Tommy Vedes and Daniel Negreanu all had their eyes set on the bracelet - this would have been a 5th for Negreanu.

But Jivkov (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 25th) held on to pickup his very first braclet.




For Vedes, the 41 QJ/PTPR Points acquired in the event bring his total to 168 on the season, moving him into the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year Top 10 Leaderboard, powered by PTPRpoker - Vedes sits 7th on the year.

It was a third PTPR Score of the season for both Daniel Negreanu (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 47th) and Corey Burbick (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 187th) while John Eames, James Mackey, Steve Brecher, Jack Ellwood and John Juanda are other notables who made it to the final two tables.
