Vasserman Down, Rivera Up
Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
Ilya Vasserman called a river bet with his ![]()
on a board with two queens and three spades. "Flush?" he asked his opponent. Sure enough, the other player produced ![]()
for the nut flush to take the pot. Vasserman was left with only about 20,000.
On the turn with a board of ![]()
![]()
![]()
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".
