Ari Engel

We missed the action on the previous hand, but as we passed by Ari Engel’s table we noticed him pushing his last 550 chips into the middle.

“I’m not on tilt, I swear. Five hundred and fifty American dollars!”

The table laughed and 5 people would tag along, and check to the river on a {9c}{Jh}{3s}{6s}{3d} board. A player led out for 500 on the river and everyone else folded.

“I’m pretty sure im going to win this hand” Engel said as he tabled the {Js}{Jc}. His opponent just shook his head and tabled {2c}{3c}.

Even with the pot Engel is only sitting on a little more than 4,000 in chips and will need to double up a few more times to get back into contention.
