Rivkin Picks Up Some Chips

[user42991]

Preflop, Brandon Wong raised from late position and Eric Rivkin reraised. Wong made the call.

On a flop of {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {2-Spades}, Wong bet out and Rivkin made the call. The same action occurred on the turn of the {3-Clubs} and the river of the {9-Hearts}.

At showdown, Rivkin showed {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} for nines up, and Wong showed {8-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} for nines up as well. Unfortunately for Wong, Rivkin's ace outkicked Wong's king.

After the hand, Rivkin moved up to 42,000 in chips. Wong was down to 36,000.
