Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Alex Rivera
Alex Rivera

Alex Rivera found himself racing against a short stack holding {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. His opponent showed pocket fives.

As the dealer was putting out the flop Rivera said, "You gotta win those flips!"

The flop and turn were of no help, but an ace from space came down on the river and Rivera took down the pot, sending his opponent to the rail.

Peter Beshay Climbs

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

On a board reading {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}, with about 20,000 in the pot, Peter Beshay moved all in and was called by his opponent who was the player at risk.

Beshay tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} and his opponent showed an inferior {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

The turn was the {J-Clubs} and the river was the {j-Diamonds}, giving Beshay a full house and sending his opponent to the rail.
