Marc Rivera Eliminated in 5th Place ($161,446)
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
When it folded to Marc Rivera in the small blind, he jammed for 3,100,000. Qing Lu peeked at her cards before quickly making the call to put Rivera at risk.
Marc Rivera: J♠10♥
Qing Lu: K♣K♥
Rivera had shoved directly into Lu's premium pocket pair and needed help from the board to keep the tournament five-handed.
The A♥8♦5♦ flop was no help to Rivera, leaving him needing running cards to survive.
The 3♠ turn left Rivera drawing dead, making the 7♦ river a mere formality.
Rivera wished the remaining four players good luck as he exited in fifth place, while Lu's stack climbed to over 16,000,000.
