Sean Perry

Josh Arieh and Sean Perry butted heads in a huge confrontation on a 8c5c4c flop, and it resulted in Arieh being all in for over 100,000.

Arieh: 6d7s
Perry: Kh8s

“Come on, give me a sweat,” Arieh started to sign his own death warrant.

The turn was the 4d. “There it is!” Arieh seemed pleased that he now had some outs to fade.

The 8d river was one of those outs, and Perry ran down a full house to send Arieh to the rail. The former is now the clear chip leader with well over 100 big blinds as the money bubble arrives.

Sean Perry – 425,000 (106 bb)
Josh Arieh – Eliminated

Players Remaining: 108 of 633

On the turn of a KsTc7h6d board, Dermot Blain checked from under the gun. Josh Arieh was in the cutoff, and he bet 19,000 into a pot of just less than 40,000. Blain called.

The river was the Kc. Blain checked again, Arieh shoved, and Blain called off his last 66,000 to put himself at risk.

Arieh was caught with just Jc9c, and Blain’s TsTh was easily good enough to give him a double-up.

Dermot Blain – 205,000 (68 bb)
Josh Arieh – 160,000 (53 bb)
