Arieh's Ace is Good
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action folded to the hijack who bet 10,000. Josh Arieh raised to 20,000, and after some thought the hijack called.
The players went heads-up to the 8♥10♦2♦ flop and the hijack checked to Arieh. Arieh bet 15,000 and the hijack called.
The 5♦ turn was followed by two checks.
When the 8♠ river came, the hijack moved all in for around 41,000. Arieh took around a minute, but made the call.
The hijack showed Q♥J♥ and Josh Arieh flipped over A♠K♠ with the better kickers. The hijack was eliminated from the tournament and Arieh added more chips to his growing stack.
