Arieh Gets Value Where Others Wouldn't

Level 8
Josh Arieh
Josh Arieh

No-Limit Hold'em

A player in early position raised to 1,500 and was called by a player on the button.

Josh Arieh then squeezed to 6,200 from the small blind, with the big blind calling, as well as the player on the button, and the original raiser folding.

The three players took a flop of 2JA and Arieh bet out 7,000, with the big blind coming along and the player on the button getting out of the way.

Now heads-up, both players checked the Q turn, with Arieh then betting out 20,000 on the 4 river and getting a call from the player in the big blind.

Arieh showed down 53 for a wheel and got a chuckle out of the table.

"So sick," said the player in the big blind while also laughing.

Leonard is Taking This Seriously

Level 8

Big O

Patrick Leonard asked the dealer how many hands of Big O were remaining. "You don't like this one?" asked Nacho Barbero.

Leonard called from the button, then Barbero made it 2,400 from the small blind, and big blind Marco Johnson and Leonard called. "I'm taking this seriously," warned Leonard.

The flop rolled out 896, Johnson bet 7,800, and Leonard went all in for 35,000. Barbero folded, and Johnson called.

Johnson spread 76532 for a flopped straight and the low. Leonard showed AJ665 for a nut flush draw and a draw to beat Johnson's low.

The 27 turn and river did not complete Leonard's flush but did give him a low to beat Johnson's and keep him alive.

Aquino Takes From Deeb, Then Gives Him a Refund

Level 8

Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw

On the last draw, Shaun Deeb patted and Matthew Aquino drew one. Aquino bet pot and Deeb called. Deeb showed 7x6x5x3x2x, but Aquino had caught 7x6x4x3x2x.

"Just call me Matthew 'Luckbox' Aquino," he said. "I draw on the end and get a horseshoe up the *ss."

Deeb got a refund of 17,000 from Aquino on the next hand, however, when Aquino couldn't draw to beat Deeb's eighty-six.
