Arieh Flops Quads, Dodges Royal Flush Draw
Level 5
: 300/600, 600 ante
A short-stacked player in middle position open-jammed for 25,100 and Josh Arieh attempted to raise in late position without realizing there had been a call. Arieh was forced to call the all in and the action folded to the big blind, who flat-called with around 7,000 behind.
The flop came 
and the big blind led all in.
"It's really shocking what I have," Arieh said before flipping over 
for quads and then apologizing for "slow-rolling" his opponent.
The big blind stayed in his chair as he had an out holding 
for a Royal Flush draw, while the other player in the hand was drawing dead with 
.
The board ran out 
to send both opponents to the rail and the four-time bracelet winner raked in the pot while a pair of TV cameras hovered over him.
