Rivera Doubles

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Alex Rivera shoved for his last 90,000 preflop and Chris Damick called from the button. Rivera showed the {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and led Damick's {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}. Damick took the lead on the {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop, but Rivera had more equity with his massive draws. The {6-Spades} turn failed to help Rivera, but he got there with the {Q-Hearts} on the turn for a straight.

Chris Damick Eliminated in 5th Place ($2,465)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

First, Chris Damick raised from the small blind and Dane Wagner called from the big to see a {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{K-Spades} flop. All the chips went in quickly from there, and Wagner was at risk but out in front.

Wagner: {8-Spades}{2-Spades}
Damick: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

Wagner needed to fade a spade and he did just that on the {4-Diamonds} turn and Jd] river.

Two hands later Damick moved all in with the {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Sam Guercio called with the {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. Guercio's pair held up and Damick was eliminated.
