Arthur Wins a Sick One
During yesterday's Day 1c flight of the $600 Kickoff Event, PokerNews happened to be walking by a table when Riva Arthur got all in with pocket kings against another player with kings. A chop seemed imminent, but that is not how it went down.

Arthur held the K♦ and a two-diamond flop of 8♦Q♥Q♦ left her freerolling. The 3♦ turn upped the suspense factor, and the dramatic 6♦ river gave her the flush to put a tough beat on the now-eliminated opponent.
Arthur, who is from Massachusetts, has already amassed $91,207 in Hendon Mob earnings despite her first cash being a little over a year ago.
She's had success at Live! before, taking down a $200k guaranteed Multi-Flight event in March for $29,300.
Arthur also made a deep run in last year's NAPT Las Vegas $5,300 NAPT High Roller with a tenth-place finish worth $16,295.
