Don't Mess with Arieh

From the button, Josh Arieh raises it up to 2,500. Terrence Chan is in the big blind, and he reraises it to 7,000. Arieh makes the call in position, and the two men go heads up to the flop.

It comes out {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}. Chan is first, and he fires out 20,000 chips. Arieh comes along.

The turn brings the {Q-Spades}. This time, both men check.

Fifth street: {3-Hearts}. Chan readies some betting chips, and pushes 35,000 of them forward. Arieh calls and flips over {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} {10-Clubs}. Chan says, "Nice call," and he open mucks his {7-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}.

Josh Arieh rakes in a big pot and increases his chip lead over the field. He now sits on a pedestal at 310,000, while Chan has been knocked back to 25,000.
