Rivers Runs Dry

Ryan Rivers has had a hell of a week, but he won't be capping it off with a Main Event title. Rivers won the Bad Beat Jackpot in the Seneca Poker Room on Wednesday for $72,000, and followed it up with a runner-up finish in Event #10 on the following day for $6,000.

He never gained any momentum today and got the last of his chips in preflop with the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Two players called, and after big bets on the turn and river of a {2-Spades}{8-Spades}{A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{K-Clubs} board Rivers came up second best against another player's {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

Still, $78,000 in a week is nothing to sneeze at.
