Eric Rivkin is the chip leader after playing a big pot late in the event. John Pappas opened the button for 100,000 and Rivkin three-bet to 265,000. Pappas called and they saw a flop.

The board come Qc7d3c. Rivkin lead for 189,000. Pappas called.

The turn was the Jd. Rivkin fumbled with his chips for a bit before moving all in for what appeared to be 650,000. Pappas thought out loud and admitted he couldn’t even beat a bluff. He folded and Rivkin raked the pot. He now holds 1,500,000 chips and leads the way with just 12 players remaining.
