Lucky Number Seven
The American online festival WSOP Online recently featured the Ultra Deepstack event, which, with a $500 buy-in, attracted 804 entries. Josh Arieh took home the title, along with the coveted gold bracelet and a prize of $67,656.
Arieh's journey through this tournament was far from straightforward. As he admitted, he had to grind through each entry. After several quick busts, he finally found his stride on the seventh try, converting his stack into pressure, and that pressure into a title. The number seven was truly symbolic: seventh entry, seventh bracelet—and his first in No Limit Hold'em, which was missing from his collection.
Until now, all his bracelets had come from Limit Hold'em or PLO, but now he added his first NLH triumph, elevating him into the elite club of seven-time bracelet winners. For the 51-year-old American, who made his mark as the third-place finisher in the 2004 WSOP Main Event, this moment cements his legacy alongside names like Daniel Negreanu, John Hennigan, Nick Schulman, Brian Rast, Billy Baxter, and Scott Seiver.
