Arieh Avoids Baker's Bait

Level 16

No-Limit Hold'em

Chip leader Josh Arieh opened for 30,000 from middle position, then it folded around to David "ODB" Baker in the small blind who reraised to 155,000 total. Phil Hellmuth folded the big blind, and Arieh weighed his options.

After a few moments, Arieh asked Baker what he had behind, and Baker quickly tallied up his chips. "97 more if you want to put me all in," he explained, stacking up the 97,000 chips he had left. "Or 125 if you want to see a flop," he added with a grin.

Arieh finally folded his {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} face up. He still leads with about 1.85 million, while Baker now sits with 295,000.
