Rivera continues to rise


After winning a double up with pocket aces earlier, Marc Rivera seems to be on a steady rise. He recently won two hands in a row. In the first one he was in a three-way raised pot with a board showing A 3 A. Gerald Casey and Rivera checked to button player Kyungrok Kim who bet 3700. Casey folded and Rivera joined in with a call. At the turn of J, both checked. Then on the river of 7, Rivera led out for 7k and Kim called. Rivera won with his A 5 trips.

The hand right after had Rivera raising to 4k and getting called by Lim Yo Hwan. At the flop of K 10 A, Riveral bet 3k and Hwan quietly called. At the turn of 6 Rivera continued and dropped in a 7k bet. Hwan smooth-called again. On the river of 10, Rivera laid out 15k and with that, he won the pot with Hwan folding. Rivera showed his A.
