Level 25
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
Josh Arieh raised from the button and Nozomu Shimizu defended his big blind.
The flop came J?7?A? and they both checked to the 9? on the turn. Arieh bet to put Shimizu all in for his last 105,000 and was called.
Nozomu Shimizu: 9?2?
Josh Arieh: J?10?
Arieh had flopped a pair of jacks while Shimizu had turned the lower pair of nines.
The river completed the board with the 8? which did not help the friendly Japanese player. Everyone applauded as he was eliminated in third place for $144,069.
