Josh Arieh Eliminated in 3rd Place ($110,085)

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Josh Arieh
Josh Arieh

Josh Arieh limped from the small blind, Frederic Normand potted to 600,000 from the big blind, and Arieh called.

On the AK9 flop, Arieh checked to Normand who bet 300,000. Arieh then check-potted to 2,300,000 with 500,000 behind. Normand went into the tank for a while before the clock was called. With ten seconds left, Normand announced all-in and Arieh called off his 2,800,000 stack.

Josh Arieh: KQJ9 All in
Frederic Normand: A1064

Arieh held bottom two pair with a gutter while Normand had top pair with a backdoor low.

No waiting was required as the 4 landed on the turn, giving Normand two pair. The 5 river could not save Arieh, and his quest for an eighth bracelet will have to resume elsewhere.
