Josh Arieh Eliminated in 12th Place ($53,721)
The board frowned on Arieh, coming down . Unable to get over the hump, Arieh shipped the last few of his chips to Hurst, shook hands with the table, and quickly departed out the side door.
Josh Arieh had been our leader for the vast, vast majority of the tournament, and for a long time it appeared that he might take it coast-to-coast. Something happened after the players returned from dinner though, and Arieh could get nothing going. He has steadily bled chips for the last six hours, and eventually ran out entirely. For his hard work, he will take home more than $50,000... but from the look on his face as he left, it's not exactly the target he was shooting for.
