Plenty of Chips For Ari

Ari Engel has already had a fairly successful summer, cashing three times, including a very deep run in Event 9: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry. If his form today is anything to go by, he will be looking to make it another deep run here in Event 38.

We recently arrived at Ari Engel's table with a board showing {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and one opponent first to act on the turn against Engel. This player flicked out a bet of 2,700 and Ari contemplated for quite some time before sliding out enough for a call.

The {10-Spades} was the last card to hit the felt on the river and Engel's opponent didn't relent with his aggression, firing out 4,600. However, Engel's aggression would prove stronger here as he tumbled out around 11,000. That was enough to see his opponent instantly fold, with the nice pot going all the way into Engel's stack.
