Eric Rivkin Wins a Monster Pot, Damian Radanov Eliminated
Damian Radanov - 10th Place - $4,972
Damian Radanov shoves all in for 51,000 from under the gun. Eric Rivkin calls on the button, as does Dennis Elliott in the small blind. The big blind folds.
The flop comes . Elliott leads for 150,000, and Rivkin raises to 300,000. Elliott announces that he is all in, and Rivkin quickly calls.
Radanov: (flush draw)
Rivkin: (pair of aces, and backdoor flush draw)
Elliott: (pair of jacks)
"I concede the main pot, just for the record," Rivkin says seriously.
The turn does not change the hand, nor does the . Radanov is eliminated in 10th place, taking home $4,972, and after a VERY close count of chips, it's determined that Elliott has Rivkin just slightly covered.
"Wow, from nothing to chip leader," table mate Kenny Nguyen says to Rivkin, as the players start to redraw for their seats at the unofficial final table of nine.
Eric Rivkin - 825,000 (137 bb)
Dennis Elliott - 24,000 (4 bb)
Damian Radanov - Eliminated in 10th place, for $4,972
