Leonard Sends Arieh Out
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Edward Leonard opened to 3,000 from the hijack, and Josh Arieh made the call on the button. Daniel Negreanu folded in the small blind, while Ian Monahoyios came along from the big blind.
Monahoyios checked the 10♥9♥7♠ flop, with Leonard checking behind. Arieh fired 7,000, and Monahoyios let his hand go. Leonard then check-raised enough to put Arieh all in, and he took some time before sticking his short stack in the middle.
Josh Arieh: K♣Q♥
Edward Leonard: A♥J♥
Leonard was already ahead before the A♠ turn gave him top pair. The 7♣ river was a blank, and Arieh wished the table good luck on his way to the exit.
