Vasserman Down, Rivera Up

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Ilya Vasserman called a river bet with his {q-}{j-} on a board with two queens and three spades. "Flush?" he asked his opponent. Sure enough, the other player produced {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for the nut flush to take the pot. Vasserman was left with only about 20,000.

On the turn with a board of {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} Eric Rivera moved in from the small blind and his opponent in Seat 2 (cutoff) gave it some thought, then folded. Rivera chipped back up to ~100,000.

This is Rivera's first tournament since he spent two months in Las Vegas this summer, so he's ready to rock. He's calling his shot, "guaranteeing the final table".
