The World Series of Poker Event #5 Pot Limit Hold’em was winding down during the late evening hours of Friday.  One of the most winningest poker pros of all time, Daniel Negreanu, managed to go deep, finishing in 5th place and leaving the table with $41,683.

Nick Jivkov, Bryan Pellegrino and Jonathan Aguiar were each vying for the WSOP bracelet in this event at the time Gambling911.com was going to publication. 

Busting out just after Negreanu, in 4th place, was successful poker pro Tommy Vedes, whose recent win came back in April at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown / WPT Event Season 10 - WPT Main Event - No Limit Hold'em.  That first place finish yielded Vedes a sweet $779,520 and he was guaranteed at least another $76,189 in the Pot Limit Hold’em.
