Rock'em Sock'em Rivkin

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We passed by Eric Rivkin's table just in time to see the young semi-pro engaged in a heated duel with a lone opponent.

The flop read and Rivkin was facing a 15,000 wager (which was likely a raise of Rivkin's flop bet, based on the sizing).

Soon enough Rivkin announced himself all in and the accounting showed the wager to be worth 25,900 more. After tanking long and hard, Rivkin's opponent elected to call him down, leaving just 8,000 behind.

Opponent:

Rivkin had baited his man into calling with bottom pair, and with his top pair/top kicker combination, Rivkin was in a commanding position to double through. The turn () and river () changed nothing and a pot worth nearly 100,000 was shipped in Rivkin's direction.
