There was some commotion on the table when a multi-way limped pot to the 1096 flop had the players figure out that the pot size was wrongly declared and Josh Arieh was then able to pull back his bet of 25,000 to make it 15,000 instead. Alex Foxen raised to 50,000 and Arieh was the only caller.

Arieh then bet the Q turn for 125,000 into 130,000 and Foxen called, which led them to the 5 on the river. Arieh fired a bet of 350,000 and Foxen called for most of his stack.

"Ace-queen," Arieh said without revealing his cards just yet. Foxen tabled his Q1087 for the flopped ten-high straight and Arieh mucked.
