Flush for Arieh; More Chips for Shakerchi
Level 16
Limit Hold'em
Having defended out of the blinds against the raise by Hal Rotholz, it was Josh Arieh who check-raised the K♣8♦4♦3♦ turn and then bet the J♣ river. Rotholz called both times but mucked when he was shown the 10♦7♦ for a flush.
One table over, Johannes Becker lost another showdown pot to drop down further.
