Seat 3: Nick Jivkov (206,000)

Level 27
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Nick Jivkov was born in Bulgaria but now resides in Des Plaines, Illinois. He is a former owner of a transportation company, but now makes his living as a full-time poker player. The 32-year old is married with two daughters, five-year old Mia and one-year old Sofia.
Jivkov, who won a WSOP-Circuit ring back in November at the IP Biloxi stop, currently sits in 12th place on the National Leaderboard and will likely earn a spot in the National Championship $1 Million Freeroll next month; however, he can lock up a spot with a victory here today.
