Ariza Gets There on the River
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Neomaye Ariza and an opponent went to the turn on a board of 4♣6♠5♠A♦ when Ariza moved all in for 26,000 from under the gun. His opponent went deep into the tank, taking several minutes before the clock was called.
The 30-second countdown had nearly reached zero when he flicked in a chip to call. Ariza showed 9♠8♠, while his opponent had 8♥8♦. The 2♠ river gave Ariza a flush and the double up, and his opponent slammed his chips on the table in frustration before handing over the pot.
