Rivera Survives
Level 19
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Alex Rivera joined one limper into Jeffrey Joseph's big blind and the small blind came along before Joseph raised it to 28,000 total.
The first limper called and Rivera joined in before the small blind decided to pass. Joseph checked the queen high flop, but when the original limper led, Rivera shoved for less. Joseph folded and it turned out Rivera had flopped a set of sixes against 
for top pair.
A jack on the turn gave him a sweat, but Rivera faded all trouble to more-than double.
