Alex Rivera's run from shorty to contender is over. He ran it up from 10,000 to 70,000 after the dinner break. But quickly dusted those chips off running {k-}{q-} into Manoi Saysamone aces preflop and failing to improve at all.

The hand left Saysamone with 130,000, the very same number Rick Block is now on, after getting it in with jacks against nines and holding for the full double.
