[user111541]

Josh Arieh

Josh Arieh raises from the small blind and Steven Burkholder made the call from the small blind. The flop came {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

and Arieh bet 11,000. Burkholder then raised enough to put him all in. Arieh made the call.

Josh Arieh: {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

(top and bottom pair with a backdoor flush draw)
Burkholder: {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

(pair of eights with a heart flush draw)

The turn was the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

giving Burkholder the flush. Arieh needed a queen or a six to stay alive, but the river brought a meaningless {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

, eliminating him from the tournament.
