Arieh Out

Josh Arieh pushed his last 1,750 all in with {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and found himself up against his opponent's A-A. To say Arieh was in bad shape there is an understatement.

No miracle board came to save him, and Arieh is out.

There was a raise from the button, then Mike Sexton pushed all in from the big blind with {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The player on the button showed {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. A king flopped, and two cards later Sexton's day was done.

Vamonos, Vahedi

On a flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}, a player in the small blind checked and Amir Vahedi went all in for 2,145. The small blind called with {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} to Vahedi's {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}. The turn and river came {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Vahedi was out.

Also, Jason Somerville nearby has also busted out.

Seif? Out!

On a flop of {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Mark Seif goes all in for his last 1,000 and two players call. The turn was {5-Hearts} and the side pots check. The river was {9-Clubs} and the big blind checks. The late-position player bets 1,000 on the side and the big blind calls. The LP had {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Seif had {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. The big blind mucks and Seif is eliminated.
