On the 8♠7♥7♣ flop, Wasserson check-called a bet of 85,000 from Arieh.

The 5♥ turn checked through to the K♥ river which saw Wasserson lead for 500,000. Arieh went into the tank as he contemplated a hero call.

"I don't think you have sh*t," explained Arieh. "I think you have like jack-ten."

Ultimately, Arieh decided to lay it down, conceding a sizeable pot to Wasserson without showdown.

Racener led again on the 2♦ river before Zack raised and Racener begrudgingly put in the call after some deliberation. Zack tabled 8♦4♦ for a rivered flush as he dragged the pot.

More recently, Josh Arieh raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and John Racener three-bet to 210,000 on the button. Arieh laid it down without a fight.
