Si Ng Pun Doubles From Czardy Rivera

Level 15: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000

Si Ng Pun

Czardy Rivera made a min-raise to 8,000 from the button and Si Ng Pun pushed all-in for the last 35,000 chips from the small blind. Rivera was hesitant, but had the chips to make the call. Both players didn't hit the board, leaving Pun's ace-high victorious for a desperate double-up.

Czardy Rivera's Aces Topple Wu Shenghao's Kings

Level 13: 1,000 / 2,500 ante: 2,500

Czardy Rivera

With action folded to the blinds, Wu Shenghao coyly limped in to complete the bet. Czardy Rivera then made a small raise to 5,500. Shenghao riffled chips and tried not to smile before four-betting to 22,000. Rivera counted his chips and claimed "all-in". Shenghao answered "call" almost immediately.

Wu Shenghao: K♦ K♠

Czardy Rivera: A♥ A♣

Shenghao was certainly dumbfounded, thinking that he was the one making the play. But what else is there to say. To quote those famous words - "That's poker."

Board: 2♠ 3♦ T♦ 6♣ Q♦

Rivera's aces hold on to win a big pot while Shenghao is shown the exits.

Rocky Paradise Dents Czardy Rivera

Level 13: 1,000 / 2,500 ante: 2,500

Rocky Paradise

Czardy Rivera made the min-raise to 5,000 from the button and called the 15,500 three-bet from Rocky Paradise at the big blind. Both players entered a flop of 9♠ T♣ 4♣. Paradise made an 11,000 c-bet which was called by Rivera to see a 6♥ on the turn. Both players checked to see a T♠ river and then checked again for a show-card moment. Rocky Paradise turned over A♠ Q♣ and Rivera sighed and mucked.

Kapoor walks into cooler versus Rivera

Level 12: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

Sanjeev Kapoor

American Sanjeev Kapoor of the United States has the action folded to him on the D and raises to 10,000. Okada Kickoff titlist Czardy Rivera of the host nation chooses to defend his BB.

The flop comes K♦ 6♥ 8♥ as Rivera checks. Kapoor then goes all-in and is quickly called by Rivera for his remaining 55,000.

Kapoor shows A♦ K♥ for top pair on the flop, but much to his chagrin Rivera brandishes 6♠ 6♣ for bottom set.

The last two community cards are the Q♣ and the J♣ as Kapoor's stack now falls into the danger zone with less than 12 BBs.
