Arieh Blasts McKeehen Off Aces

Level 8 : Limits 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Patrick Stacey raised under the gun and Josh Arieh three-bet in the hijack. Joe McKeehen then four-bet in the cutoff, and both opponents called.

McKeehen bet on the 8K4 flop, and only Arieh called. He bet again on the 3 turn, but this time Arieh came back with a raise. McKeehen called.

The river was the K and Arieh bet. McKeehen picked up his AA and began shuffling them around in his hands before throwing them into the muck. Arieh allowed him to pick one of his cards, and McKeehen turned over the K.
