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.
