Event 12: Alik Sitnyakovsky Doubles Through Eric Rivkin

$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry) 
Level 10: 500/1,000 with a 100 ante
Players Remaining: 53 of 239

Eric Rivkin raised to 2,500 from the hijack and Alik Sitnyakovsky defended his big blind. They were heads-up to a flop of 4d3d2s and Sitnyakovsky checked.

Rivkin bet 3,500 and Sitnyakovsky raised to 10,200. Rivkin called and Sitnyakovsky moved all in dark for 12,800. The turn was the Ah and Rivkin quickly called.

Sitnyakovsky showed 7d5d, good for a wheel, and had Rivkin’s AsQs drawing dead.

The river was an irrelevant 6c, which unnecessarily improved Sitnyakovsky to a seven-high straight, and he doubled up.

Sitnyakovsky and Rivkin were tablemates in last night’s $360 no limit hold’em final table and are back at it battling in Flight C of the $150 no-limit hold’em re-entry tonight.

Sitnyakovsky finished second in last night’s $360 no-limit hold’em and Rivkin took seventh place money home.

Alik Sitnyakovsky – 51,000
Eric Rivkin – 23,000
