Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Somebody finally helped themselves to a little chunk of Josh Arieh's chips. In this hand, we picked it up as Arieh raised to 20,000 from the cutoff seat. Magnus Petersson had limped in middle position, and he called the raise as well.

The two men saw the flop come {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

. On the flop, Petersson got the last 89,500 of his chips into the pot, and Arieh had him at risk of elimination as the cards were turned over.

Arieh: {A-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

Petersson: {A-Hearts}

The two were odds-on favorites to split the pot. The {3-Clubs}

changed nothing on the turn. The river came lucky for Petersson. The case ace, {A-Clubs}

, fell on fifth street, improving Petersson to aces full and doubling him up to 277,000.
