Arieh Picks Off Antonius

Level 4

Pot-Limit Omaha

With the board reading {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and with what looked to be roughly 40,000 in the pot, Patrik Antonius bet 32,000. Josh Arieh looked hesitant for about a minute, but made the call. Antonius tapped the table, prompting Arieh to turn over {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for aces and fives. Antonius checked his cards again, but placed them in the muck.

Antonius slipped to about 118,000, while Arieh chipped up to nearly 190,000.
