Jivkov Seeking Another Pot-Limit Bracelet

Last year, Bulgaria's Nick Jivkov took down Event #5 $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em for $189,818 and his first bracelet. SInce then Jivkov has added three World Series of Poker Circuit rings to his résumé, and if all goes according to plan, he'll make a run at his second pot-limit title here today, though this one would obviously be in Omaha.

We caught up with Jivkov in a recent hand when an early-position player opened for 125 and Jivkov called from the small blind. The big came along too and it was three-way action to the flop. Two checks saw the early-position player continue for 300, only Jivkov called and the turned. Both players ended up checking and the completed the board on the river. Jivkov took the opportunity to lead out for 800 and the early-position player snap-call. Jivkov tabled the for trips and it was good as the early-position player sent his hand to the muck.
