Arieh Back Pedals; Khavin Zooms Up
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Josh Arieh and Filipp Khavin were all in, with the latter being the shorter stack.
Josh Arieh: 8♣8♦
Fillip Khavin: Q♥Q♦
Arieh patiently awaited the runout as it rolled off J♦J♠10♣ but when the Q♣ peeled off on the turn he mucked his hand and sarcastically said, "I made a straight!" when the 9♦ fell on the river. He quickly matched his opponents stack and carried on.
