| Eric Rivkin (East Hempstead, NY) finds it wise to stick around the Florida area post-WSOP Circuit, entering the Flight 1A field just before break. |
Coming off of the heels of the WSOP Circuit in town, it should come as no surprise that we are seeing some players from out of town in the field. Eric Rivkin (East Hampton, NY) was down in Florida for the circuit, and decided to extend his trip, knowing that the 2017 Isle Open began this week. Eric is a tournament grinder from the Northeast, who travels the country playing events, and has a pretty impressive resume to show for it. With over $696,000 in career earnings, Rivkin is in the top 1,400 of the "all-time money list" (United States), and is coming off of his best statistical year of poker.
Eric earned $195,201 in 2016, which happened to be the only six-figure year of earnings, spanning his eleven year career. His year was highlighted by an "unofficial" WPT final table at Choctaw (in Durant, Oklahoma), where he finished in eight place, earning $82,533. That still stands as Eric's largest tournament cash, on a resume that also boasts (62) final tables finishes (of 171 total recorded results).
