Rivers Continues to Roll
It's safe to say that this week poker hasn't been as kind to anyone as it has to Ryan Rivers. Last night he finished runner-up in Event #10 for $6,000, and on Wednesday night he got the lion's share (approximately $72,000) by hitting the Bad Beat Jackpot in the Seneca Niagara Poker Room. Rivers is in action today, and thus far he's running just as hot.
In a recent hand, a player limped and Rivers did the same from late position. The player on the button then moved all in for 16,500, the original limper folded, and Rivers made the call.

flop didn't hit the button directly, it did give him added outs to a queen. The 
turn put out additional counterfeit options, but Rivers successfully dodged all the danger when the 
blanked on the river. The threes held and Rivers was pushed the pot.
