Arthur Up Big in the Main Event
Riva Arthur is no stranger to success on the NAPT, having finished 10th in the $5,300 High Roller back in November 2023 for $16,295. Now, she is in a good position to continue that success in the Maryland State Poker Championship Main Event after winning a massive three-way all in with a flopped flush to sit up near the top of the leaderboard.
At the time of writing, Arthur had amassed 165,000, second only to Joseph Cashen in first with 175,000. Of course, there is still plenty of play left here on Day 1b but so far things are looking good for Arthur as she seeks to build on a live poker resume that, despite only dating back to 2023, contains some impressive results. For example, she bested a field of 1,236 competitors in a $250 event here at Maryland Live! Casino in March to net a career high $29,300.
