Josh Arieh Puissance 3 (204,766$)

The 2021 World Series of Poker crowned another gold bracelet winner at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino on Friday in Event #39: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha, a tournament that attracted 821 players and offered up a $1,096,035 prize pool.

The PokerGO live-streamed final table contained three former bracelet winners, Josh Arieh, Tommy Le, and Ivan Deyra. In the end, it was Arieh collecting his third WSOP bracelet, claiming victory for $204,766.

An emotional Arieh was still letting it all sink in during his post-victory interview.

“I was just texting my girls,” said Arieh. “It’s like the whole reason why I work, and it’s tough being out here for so long. I actually just came back, had some good times with them. But I was just thinking about my girls and life, and thinking about everything, and just really f***ing excited.”

It took Arieh just three hours to finish off the victory, and he reflected on his legacy.

“I mean I don’t know, I think I’m really good, just like everybody else,” he said. “But I haven’t won a bracelet in 15 years, I’ve come close. I think I have three or four seconds in the last six years and I f***ing dog it, like I choke, and I started feeling that pressure again right at the beginning. But I was lucky enough to hold some cards and fought through the mental weakness I guess. But it’s always good, winning money and winning bracelets is always good. I don’t know there’s part of me that like, I feel like I should, that I could be a Hall of Fame inductee. I don’t know inducted but at least a chance to be inducted. So I’ve been thinking about that for a few years, get a third bracelet and maybe I’ll get on the ballot. But now I’ll try to get four.”

Arieh, 47, admittedly doesn’t play as much he used to but said he loves the competition.

“I don’t play that much, I’m a gambler at heart and I gamble at anything that I feel like I have an edge or I gamble at anything that’s close to 50-50 because I feel like I’m lucky,” said Arieh. “I just like competing, I’m a competitor, whatever it is, I’m competing hard. If it’s me, Shaun, Daniel, and Matt playing video games, you know we’re competing hard, we like to win. It gets us going in the morning and that’s just how I’ll be until the day I die.”

Other players to cash on the final table included Nitesh Rawtani (6th -$35,278), Lior Abudi (7th - $26,603), and Charles Wilt (8th - $20,371).

All eyes were on the former two-time bracelet winner Arieh, as he came in with the chip lead and was looking to add to his impressive resume.

“Nothing against anybody, but before we started the final table I knew that it was going to be me and Tommy heads-up,” he said. “I can show you a text from my phone that says it’s going to be me and Tommy heads-up, and I hope I have more chips when we start and that’s what happened. I’ve been playing Pot-Limit Omaha since, what am I 47, and I’ve been playing Pot-Limit Omaha for 30 years or something like that and I just get it. I understand the flow and I understand the thought process of the guys trying to ladder up. So I just caught some good cards and everything worked out. I’ve been in this situation plenty of times before and it didn’t work out.”

Final Table Action

Gabriel Andrade entered the day as the short stack and he was the first to go when he got it in preflop and was knocked out by Robert Blair to bring the action to four-handed.

Next to go was Ivan Deyra. He was left short by the constant pressure of Arieh and ultimately was eliminated by him to exit in fourth. Robert Blair followed him out the door shortly thereafter, also dispatched by Arieh after being down to under ten big blinds.

That left Arieh and Tommy Le to play for the bracelet, with a 3-1 chip advantage for Arieh. The two exchanged a few pots, including an all-in that resulted in a chop. But Arieh whittled Le down and eventually got it in good against Le to hold for the win.

Arieh won 32 of 58 final table hands, a masterful performance for the well-known pro.

“Overall the competition, poker is alive and well in the lower buy-in stuff,” said Arieh. “But I’ll try to parlay tomorrow and play the 10k. I feel really comfortable playing Pot-Limit Omaha, so I’ll play with anybody.”

Congratulations to Josh for taking down Event #39: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha. He joins a prestigious group of three-time WSOP bracelet winners that includes Barry Greenstein, David Reese, and Dewey Tomko, to name a few.

Josh Arieh and Tommy Le Lead Final Five of Event #39: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha

Josh Arieh

It is time for the final day of Event #39: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed). Five players return at 4 p.m. local time to vie for a prized WSOP bracelet and the grand prize money of $204,766.

Here is a brief bio of each of the returning five, which features bracelet winners and a new face;

The most prominent name of the final five is none other than Josh Arieh who will start the day with the chip lead with 6,330,000. As poker fans know, Arieh is most well known for jumping on the national scene back in 2004 when he finished third in the WSOP Main Event, where he was featured prominently on ESPN and became a household poker name for a while. The native of Alpharetta, GA has since stayed a force in the poker world as he won his second WSOP bracelet in 2005 (his first coming in 1999).

Arieh has recently made a resurgence to the top of the game as he had a strong 2019 WSOP, including a runner-up finish in the 2019 WSOP $50K Poker Players Championship. Today he will be looking to ride his chip lead to that elusive third WSOP bracelet as he has finished runner-up on three occasions in his career.

4Ivan Dehya5,110,000Le Teich,France203$685,763
5Gabriel Andrade1,400,000Houston,TX/Ecuador373$500,761

Second in chips to start the day with 5,300,000 is Tommy Le of Tustin, CA. Le is always a threat in Pot-Limit Omaha as he owns a WSOP Bracelet from 2017 when he won the very prestigious $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha Championship for nearly $1 million dollars, a whopping $938,732. Le also has massive six-figure scores from 2016 where he finished second and third in the $25K PLO High Roller and the $10K PLO Championship respectively to combine for over 1 million. Le is a true PLO specialist as over 85% of his career WSOP earnings come from PLO events.

There is a third WSOP Bracelet winner among the remaining five, Ivan Deyra of Le Teich, France. He begins the day third in chips with 5,110,000 and will be looking to ride his French support to a second bracelet. His first bracelet came in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em event in the 2019 WSOP. That victory accounts for only half of his career WSOP earnings as he also boasts three WSOP international circuit rings.

Gabriel Andrade enters the day as the short stack with 1,400,000. Andrade is a very accomplished player with several good non-WSOP poker results to his name. He will be looking to break down the door and win his first WSOP and just as important to him, become the first player representing Ecuador to win a WSOP bracelet. Andrade came very close to achieving that feat earlier in the 2021 WSOP as he finished runner-up in Event #13: $3,000 Freezout No’Limit Hold’em for $229,848.

Juxtaposed with the experienced and winnings of the other four players at the table will be Robert Blair (fourth in chips with 2,450,000). A native of Bloomington, IN as he often wears Indiana Hoosier gear at the table; Blair is a newcomer to the WSOP scene. While he has a handful of poker results outside of the WSOP, this is his first recorded career WSOP cash and what a first result it is as he is guaranteed at least $47,492.

This table will be featured on PokerGO streaming and play down to a winner. PokerNews will provide the updates live as the action happens.
