Yuri Dzivielevski Continues His Upswing With A Victory In The $100K High Roller NLH ($2,841,432)

Yuri Dzivielevski came to the WSOP alone because his wife is expecting a child. The due date is scheduled for mid-July, so Yuri will miss the Main Event. But before leaving, he managed to record the biggest cash of his career last night.

Yuri Dzivielevski started the final table with 21 big blinds and went on to eliminate six opponents.

8th place — Sam Soverel: AKs > TT, increasing Yuri’s stack to 31 BB.

6th place — Alex Foxen: A8o > 98s, in an 18 BB pot.

5th place — Chris Nguyen. Effective stack: 7 BB. Dzivielevski opened AKs from UTG, Nguyen defended the BB with T9s. The flop came QJ6 and both players checked. On the turn 5, Nguyen shoved and Dzivielevski called. Ace-high was enough to win.

4th place — Alex Theologis. Effective stack: 15 BB. Preflop, Theologis made a non-all-in raise to 11.2 BB with ATo, while Dzivielevski called from the SB with AJs. Flop: A J 3 (neither player held a club). Dzivielevski bet 3.25 BB and Theologis called off his remaining chips. Turn: 10 . River: Q .

After that hand, Dzivielevski took over the chip lead with 42 BB. Teun Mulder had 28 BB, while Alex Kulev had 16 BB.

3rd place — Alex Kulev. Effective stack: 4 BB. Dzivielevski opened A4o, Kulev defended the BB with K3o and shoved on a 743 board.

Dzivielevski entered heads-up play with 35 BB vs. Mulder with 33 BB. In the final hand, Mulder got it all in with A9s against 99 for a 43 big blind pot, and pocket nines held.
