Arieh's Aces Cracked
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
On a board reading 10♦9♣6♦, Josh Arieh was facing a bet of 14,000 from Yaser Al-Keliddar. Arieh weighed his options and made note of the the fact Al-Keliddar was short and maybe had a quarter pot bet left behind.
Arieh decided to put Al-Keliddar all in, which he did call.
Yaser Al-Keliddar: Q♥9♠J♥5♠
Josh Arieh: AxAx2xXx
The board brought a 10x and Arieh said, "That's me.", but when the river rolled off an 8x, Arieh conceded, "That's you.", as Al-Keliddar made a straight.
Al-Keliddar won a bracelet in a $3,000 NLH 6-max tournament in 2018 here at the Series and is looking to add to his accomplishments today.
