Arieh Can't Buy a Pot

What did Josh Arieh eat for dinner? Something has changed his luck and/or his play drastically since we came back from dinner. Jamie Pickering is the latest player to chip up at Arieh's expense. Pickering bet 20,000 on a flop of {Q-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {5-Spades}. Arieh called.

The turn {8-Spades} brought a bet of 150,000 from Pickering. Arieh called again. Both players checked through the {6-Hearts} river, perhaps feeling that the pot was already big enough as it was. Pickering, as last aggressor, opened {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {3-Spades} for trip threes. Arieh double-checked his own cards, then mucked.

Arieh is in danger of relinquishing his chip lead, having dipped to 550,000. Pickering is up to 425,000.
