Fischman: {3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Opponent: {5-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Josh Arieh Evens Up

Josh Arieh and another player get into some furious betting on sixth street with Arieh showing {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} to the opponent's {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The opponent whooped when the 6 fell. Arieh bet, seat 4 raised, Arieh re-raised and seat 4 capped. On seventh street, Arieh bets and is called. Arieh shows {10-Spades}{2-Hearts} for the boat and the possible straight is no good.

Arieh is back up to the starting chips: 10,000.
