Armstrong Sends Arieh Packing

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Picking up the action on the flop, Josh Arieh in the big blind was involved in a hand with a player in the small blind and middle position as well as Lee Armstrong in the cutoff. With the board reading 9?10?Q? action checked to Arieh and he moved all in for his last 5,300. The middle position player called only to see Armstrong move all in for 47,000. That got the small blind and middle position players to get out of the way, putting Arieh officially at risk.

Josh Arieh: A?Q?4?3?
Lee Armstrong: K?Q?J?9?

Arieh was drawing very thin against his opponent's flopped straight with no possibility for a split pot and had already left his seat before the board ran out 6?5? to confirm his exit only a few minutes after entering.
