  • Ryan Rivers seems to be playing survivor rather than poker at this final table of the Main Event of the PokerStars Canada Cup, and has recently doubled his short stack up once again. Joe Stapleton made an amusing comment earlier in the PokerStars.tv live stream, saying that ‘Rivers is better at laddering up than Mario in a Donkey Kong video game’. He has been on the short side of the leaderboard right from the start, but has managed to ladder up to the top 4, guaranteeing himself at least $122,410.

    In the most recent hand, Rivers found himself all-in preflop with Ace of Diamonds King of Hearts versus the Ace of Clubs 10 of Clubs of Vincent Jacques, and managed to double his 890K stack up on the 4 of Diamonds King of Spades Queen of Clubs 10 of Spades 7 of Spades board.
