Rivera Ends Kukreja’s Run (4th Place – PHP 1,146,000)


Very short-stacked at this point, Haresh Kukreja moved all-in with his final 500K and just K 8. Rivera from across him thought for a bit but decided to make the call with an even worse hand: 9 7

Immediately, the flop 9 4 4 gave the lead to Rivera. Turn 2 and river 8 changed nothing which means that Kukreja is out of the tournament.

He still goes home with PHP 1.146M though so it’s still a successful main event for the player from India.
