Saliba and Arieh Get Short

zedmaster84

Niveau 8 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

In a three-way pot, Josh Arieh checked from under the gun and was the only player to call a bet of 5,000 from Ismael Bojang, in the cutoff, on a flop. Arieh also checked the turn, and Bojang asked, "How much do you have behind, like 40?"

Arieh replied with, "Not that much, only 29," and Bojang bet 10,000 just moments later. Arieh elected to fold and dropped back to a dangerous short stack.

Vivian Saliba has even less than that on a different table, and both will have to make a move soon.
