Josh Arieh during Event #50 - $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha
Josh Arieh during Event #50 - $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha
Josh Arieh is here today, fresh off of his 12th place finish in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship a few days ago. He ran into some bad luck post-dinner on Day 2 of that event after amassing a huge chip lead earlier in the day. Basically he was not able to win a single significant pot from the end of the dinner break until he busted.

It seems that run is continuing. He recently bet 825 on a flop of {K-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts} against one opponent, who check-raised him to 2,025. He called the raise, called a bet of 2,500 on the {2-Hearts} turn, and called a third bet of 8,000 on the {A-Diamonds} river. His opponent showed him the nuts -- {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}.

Just like that, Arieh is down to 7,500 chips from his starting stack of 20,000.
