Arieh Score an Early Elimination
Level 16
Pot-Limit Omaha
After Viktor Blom opened to 5,000 under the gun and got a call from Josh Arieh in the small blind, Kevin Song three-bet to 20,000 in the big blind.
Only Arieh called to see a flop of 6x5♥7♥. He then checkered and Song moved in the rest of his roughly 25,000 remaining chips which Arieh called.
Kevin Song: K♣K♠10♠5♦
Josh Arieh: A♥10♦8♣4♥
Song's overpair was crushed by the now five-time WSOP bracelet winner's flopped straight, and after the board completed Q♣Q♦, Arieh had scored one of the first elimination of the day.
