Josh Arieh Eliminated in 8th Place ($31,700)
Josh Arieh was sweating the Main Event final table with Matt Glantz involved and joked "I don't really care about this one ... maybe later," when returning to his second as the shortest stack and in the big blind.
In the very first hand, it folded all the way to James Casement and he potted to 90,000 in the small blind.
Arieh spread his four cards and said "unless it's trips, I gonna be all-in" and then moved all-in, Casement called.
Josh Arieh: K♥10♦9♠7♦
James Casement: K♠K♣9♦8♦
"I mean ... how?" Arieh sighed when his cards were less live than he had been hoping for.
The K♦7♥5♣ flop left him in rough shape, needing a six or running cards to survive. One potential combo came with the Q♠ turn but the 10♠ river ended his run in 8th place for $31,700. He also takes home a $25,000 Parlay bonus courtesy of GGPoker.
