Arieh's Aces Cracked

Livello 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a board reading 10♦9♣6♦, Josh Arieh was facing a bet of 14,000 from Yaser Al-Keliddar. Arieh weighed his options and made note of the the fact Al-Keliddar was short and maybe had a quarter pot bet left behind.

Arieh decided to put Al-Keliddar all in, which he did call.

Yaser Al-Keliddar: Q♥9♠J♥5♠
Josh Arieh: AxAx2xXx

The board brought a 10x and Arieh said, "That's me.", but when the river rolled off an 8x, Arieh conceded, "That's you.", as Al-Keliddar made a straight.

Al-Keliddar won a bracelet in a $3,000 NLH 6-max tournament in 2018 here at the Series and is looking to add to his accomplishments today.

Bang Check-Raises the Turn

Livello 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The cutoff raised to 1,600 and was called by the button, Suk Bang in the small blind, as well as the big blind.

All four players checked the A♦J♣6♣ flop and on the 4♠ turn, the action checked to the player in the cutoff who fired out a bet of 3,400. The button tanked for a few moments before letting his hand go and Bang raised it up to 20,200 which was good enough to drag the pot.
