Arieh Eliminated by Kashat
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In a battle of the blinds, the short stack of around 450,000 by Josh Arieh in the big blind went into the middle preflop and he was ahead versus Firas Kashat.
Josh Arieh: A♠K♣8♠7♣
Firas Kashat: A♣9♥5♥3♦
The 8♥3♠3♥ flop gave Kashat trips and the 9♣ turn made it a full house, leaving Arieh dead prior to the 5♣ river.
"Lucky, lucky, life is all about luck," Kashat grinned as he raked in the chips.
Moments later, Dimitrios Michailidis was knocked out by Ben Lamb one table over and the field dropped to 35 contenders with fewer than half an hour to go for the night.
