Dzivielevski is playing on his fourth final table of this summer and came close to adding a third bracelet to his collection in Event 56: $50,000 Poker Players Championship but fell just short after being bested by Dan Cates. For both players, this is their first No-Limit Hold'em final table. Will one of them be able to close it out?
Today promises to be an exciting day as any player could take it down as they will all do their utmost to claim that bracelet and the bragging rights as play resumes in the Bally's Event Center here at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas. When the action kicks off at 2 p.m., they will start with Level 31 which features a small blind of 100,000, a big blind of 200,000, and a big blind ante of 200,000.
