Razz

Josh Arieh: Qx4x/5x4xAx5x/4x - All in on fifth street
Nick Pupillo: Ax2x/Kx6x2xKx/6x

Josh Arieh got his final chips in on fifth street and after sixth street had fours and fives to be ahead of the kings and deuces of Pupillo.

"Will I make a full house?" Arieh asked out loud before turning over the 4x dealt to him on seventh street to bring groans from the table as he was sent to the rail.

Adding to the injury, CMSOP founder Allen Kessler had made his way over to the table and had some remarks about the hand.

"What won? A pair of deuces? Wow!" Kessler said, later telling PokerNews that "it is very rare" for a hand like that to win in Razz.
