Arieh Loses Some; Wins Some

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Josh Arieh
Josh Arieh

On the tail end of a heads-up pot between Xuan Liu in the small blind and Josh Arieh in the cutoff, the former bet the {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} river for 27,000.

"I was gonna bet 27k on the river .... for value," Arieh sighed after he had reluctantly folded.

Shortly thereafter, Arieh tangled with Luis Fonseca as the latter checked the {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} turn. Arieh bet big for 150,000 and that covered Fonseca's stack by a wide margin. The Brazilian folded and was shown the {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a bluff.
