flop immediately left Dzivielevski on the ropes as he needed running aces or diamonds to avoid elimination. It was all over on the
turn to make the
river a formality.

Yet another deep run for Dzivielevski resulted in a payday of $391,973 but it is Sammartino who walks away with the top prize of $508,448. A recap of today's action is to follow.
