Nível 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Josh Arieh, pictured in a different event.

If Josh Arieh was dealing with some disappointment after coming close to his first bracelet in over a decade, he isn't letting it slow him down. Last night, Arieh battled hard and held the chip lead for much of Day 3 in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Championship. However, he faded at the end at the expense of Bryce Yockey who went on to win the event. Arieh finished third for $216,077.

Arieh didn't miss a beat, though, showing up in Level 1 for this tournament, and he's looking to make another deep run and close out strong this time.

Nível 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Dani Stern (as seen in a previous event)

Dani Stern, one of the online high stakes pros, was off to a sharp start. However, Stern's stack took a hit recently.

We arrived at the table with 2,100 lying in front of Stern, likely a four-bet. His opponent continued the raising war, bumping it to 4,500. Stern called.

With over 90 big blinds in the pot, they continued to the flop. Both contenders checked.

The landed on the turn, and Stern checked again. This time, his rival bet out 3,100. Stern made a kind of, "Why not," gesture, and called.

The river brought another check from Stern, and his opponent fired one more time. This time, however, Stern wasn't willing to pay the offered 4,500.

Despite losing the big clash, Stern is still a bit up on the day.
