Big Stax VI Series ($550 Six-Max): 5th Place - Rivkin ($2,619)

Level 20 (Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000)
Players Remaining: 5

Jason Rivkin (Eatontown, NJ)
5th Place - $2,619

Jason would be the shortest stack at the table, with just over 8 big blinds remaining.  The action would fold around to Gary Ackerman in the small blind, and he would raise to 24,000.  Jason would announce himself all-in, and Ackerman would immediately call:

Rivkin: A 6      Ackerman: K♣ K

Flop: 5 3 J♠

Turn: J♣

River: J

Rivkin's hand would flop well without hitting an ace, but his sweat would end when the J hit the river, giving Ackerman a full house.  This is Rivkin's first Big Stax series final table since winning the inaugural Big Stax 300 for over $73,000.
