Anthony Rivera called a raise from the big blind from Peter Traply. The flop came down {8-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} when Rivera check-raised his single opponent. Traply then put Rivera all in and Rivera made the call, getting his remaining 70,000 chips in the middle on the flop.

Rivera held pocket jacks, but was behind Traply's queens. The turn came the {10-Hearts} and the river the {2-Hearts}.

Rivera left the tournament area slowly and unsatisfied with himself in the event. He was able to come away with a big win in the $10,000 World Championship Mixed Event when he took home the bracelet.
