Ryan Rivers Eliminated in 2nd Place ($6,000)
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Well, it didn't take long for the heads-up play to conclude. Amazingly, it came to an end when just a single blue T1,000 chip separated the two.
In the final hand, Ryan Rivers opened for 125,000 from the button and Thomas Keeper announced that he was all in. Rivers opted to call, and as it turned out he got it in good.
Keeper: 
Rivers: 
Despite the good call, Rivers was not rewarded as the 
flop gave Keeper the lead with a pair of kings. The 
turn meant Rivers needed an ace on the river to capture the trophy, but it was not meant to be as the 
blanked. The stacks were counted down, and indeed Rivers was the short man by one chip.
