Arieh Claims a Knockout
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Josh Arieh raised to 12,000 in the cutoff, Manuel Pochat three-bet jammed for 45,000 in the small blind, and Justin Young thought for a moment before folding. Arieh made the call.
Manuel Pochat: 6♠6♥
Josh Arieh: J♥J♦
As the cards were tabled, Young mentioned that he folded ace-queen.
Arieh's jacks remained in the lead all the way as the board ran out 4♥4♠A♥A♣7♣, sending Pochat to the rail.
"I didn't realize I was such a nit until just now," said Young.
