Big Call Helps Arieh Double Up

Josh Arieh
Josh Arieh
Down to about 50,000, Josh Arieh opened with a raise to 8,000 from the cutoff and got a caller in the big blind. Both checked the {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop. The turn was the {2-Clubs}. The BB bet 11,000 and Arieh called.

The river brought the {3-Clubs}, and when Arieh's opponent bet enough to put him all in, he tanked for a couple of minutes before making the call. Arieh's opponent showed {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for ace high, meaning Arieh's pair of jacks with {J-Clubs}{4-Hearts} were good enough.

Arieh is back up to 102,000.
