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 Eliminates 6 Of 8 Opponents At The $100K WSOP High Roller NLH Final Table

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.
