Arieh Eliminates Sternheimer
Level 6
No-Limit Hold 'em
After Philip Sternheimer raised to 7,500 in the cutoff and got called by Brian Yoon on the button, Josh Arieh three-bet to 26,000 in the big blind.
Sternheimer then moved all in for 160,000 and after Yoon folded and Arieh though for a minute or so, he made the call to put Sternheimer at risk.
Philip Sternheimer: Q♦Q♥
Josh Arieh: A♦10♦
The board came 3♣2♠2♣A♣9♣, pairing Arieh's ace on the turn to eliminate Sternheimer, who frustratedly knocked over his chair as he left the tournament area.
With the win, Arieh may have taken the chip lead from Phil Ivey just before the end of Day 1.
