Jivkov Eliminated from Multi-Tabling
Normally, live multi-tabling is only seen at the World Series of Poker in the summertime out in Las Vegas, but there has been an occurrence of it today in Hammond. Nick Jivkov, winner of WSOP Event 5: $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em and former final tablist from this event in 2010, is playing the Main Event here today along with the $365 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo event. In the latter of those two, he's down to the final three players, which includes Chad Brown.
On break from that final table, Jivkov decided not to go to the bathroom, but rather to head over to his Main Event seat, albeit after some help from the floor staff locating his new seat because his original table broke. He promptly got involved in a hand, which turned out to be his last.
After an under-tune-gun raise from Dale Robinson to 1,025, action folded to Jivkov in the cutoff seat. He reraised and made it 2,500 to go. Play folded back to Robinson, and he re-popped things to 6,000. Jivkov moved all in for a little over 20,000, and Robinson called.
"What you got?" asked Jivkov before seeing Robinson table the 
. "Two kings?" he continued with a shake of his head as he saw the hand. Jivkov then showed the 
for a dominated hand.
The flop, turn and river ran out 
, and Jivkov was eliminated.
"Just couldn't keep the dream alive," commented a departing Jivkov, who was able to catch the last few minutes of his break from the other event's final table before getting back into action. And lucky for him, Jivkov has the opportunity to continue the dream tomorrow as the Main Event boasts a re-entry format.
