Josh Arieh was all in preflop against chip leader John Devia. Arieh had Devia dominated holding the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

. Devia held the {10-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

. It was looking great for Arieh by the turn as the board read {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

, but no sooner than the tournament director could announce the Devia would need to catch one of two remaining tens, he did just that when the {10-Hearts}
