Arieh to Black: I Nearly Called You With Third Pair

Arieh: Nearly Busted Black
Arieh: Nearly Busted Black
A pretty big hand played out between Andy Black and an in-position, suspicious Josh Arieh. On the river, with over 25,000 in the pot, the neat piles of chips in front of Black's stack were the evidence that he'd moved all in. The board stood: {8-Spades} {3-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {K-Hearts} and Black had just shoved the river, leaving Arieh to consider in consternation possibly risking over two-thirds of his stack.

The cameras were bristling around the table next door, but they missed a corker as Arieh eventually folded getting a gleeful flip of his {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} from the Mad Monk.

Arieh fairly rose degrees in temperature as he said, "Agh I nearly called you with {9-?} {8-?} ...Didn't think you had any of that."

His frustration lent credibility to this story, but Andy was delightedly stacking, although admitted, "I was just about to be telling myself, as I head out the door - Andy you've done it again..."

Tablemate Jarred Solomon piped up then, laughing, "You're a crazy M**F** Andy, one crazy M**F**." I think that was taken as a compliment
