Arieh Holds On for a Double
Level 19
Pot-Limit Omaha
James Obst raised to 80,000 and Josh Arieh made it 285,000 from the button with only about 40,000 behind. The buttons got out of the way and Obst called.
The flop was 8?10?3? and Obst tossed out 75,000. Arieh called with the last of his stack and the cards were turned up.
Josh Arieh: J?J?7?6?
James Obst: K?Q?6?3?
Arieh was ahead with a pair of jacks and the board finished up 8?4? to secure a double for the five-time WSOP champion.
