Arieh's Massive Overbet Gets Paid

Level 5
Josh Arieh
Josh Arieh

No-Limit Hold'em

Three-ways to the turn with the board reading 7438 and with 24,000 in the middle, Josh Arieh led for 9,000 from the big blind. Marco Johnson called from under the gun and Daniel Negreanu folded on the button.

On the 9 river, Arieh fired a massive overbet of 130,000 into the middle, over three times the pot. Johnson spent over three minutes in the tank before he finally elected to put in the call. He got the bad news as Arieh tabled J10 for the rivered nut straight, and he collected a substantial pot off Johnson.
