Arieh Out

Josh Arieh Eliminated

Alan Nowak limped in from the cutoff before Josh Arieh raised it up to about 900 from the button. Nowak was the lone caller.

They look a flop of {J-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Spades} and Nowak led out for 2,000. Arieh made the call. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and Nowak fired for a second time, this time pushing 5,000 into the middle. Arieh once again called as the media started to swarm around the table.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and Nowak fired a third bullet worth 10,000 which was enough to put Arieh all in.

Arieh went into the tank for a long time, sighing, "This is brutal!" before eventually making the call.

"You got me," says Nowak and shows {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for just a pair of jacks.

Arieh replied, "No, you win," as he tossed his cards into the muck and quietly exited the Amazon Room.
