Event of the Bellagio Five
Diamond World Poker Classic
on Wednesday afternoon,
but only 31 players remain
for the final day of action
to determine who wears the
crown and who takes home
first prize of $228,192.
The winner�s money includes
a $25,000 + $300 entry into

the cut. Hawkins amassed
$77,400 for the lead, followed
by two Californians (Jim
Allen of Glendale with $67,800
