In Event #66, Josh Arieh sealed a memorable fourth career bracelet victory as he triumphed in the Rio for the second time in a fortnight to win the $10,000 PLO8 Championship for a top prize of $484,791.
As a dramatic final table played out, Arieh won heads-up against Danny Chang to win just under half a million dollars and perhaps most importantly further grow the belief floating around the Rio that the poker legend is not far off a place in the much-heralded Poker Hall of Fame.
With 25 years of experience playing poker at the very highest level, Arieh’s success over the past two weeks only backs up what many have known for years, that he is one of the finest mixed game players in the world and has been for a very long time.
