Josh Arieh was one of the notable players to be eliminated from the WPT Bay 101 Day 1B. Thanks to Lindgren’s elimination and a big pot late against last year’s Bay 101 champ McLean Karr, Trapani ended the day on top with 197,900 chips, just barely edging out Joris Springael and his 196,500-chip stack for the $10,000 prize. Other notables who ended the day near the top include David Sands, Justin Young, Shannon Shorr, Jordan Young, Eric Balir, Owen Crowe, Eric Froehlich, and Chris Ferguson, who was the top performing Shooting Star of the day with 113,100 chips.

Harrison Gimbel won the latest poker tournament by defeating Josh Arieh. The South Florida local needed to overcome a tough field, which included fellow prodigy Jason Mercier, WSOP star Josh Arieh and 2006 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Madsen, and was lucky to survive the first day when his Q9 donked-out on Adam Adler’s AQ – Gimbel spiking a nine on the river to maintain his push.

"I had said 'good luck everybody' and walked away, and they all yelled 'hey, where you going? You're not out,'" an embarrassed Gimbel told the Seminole Hard Rock crowd.

Josh Arieh was one of the few survivors to make it into Day 2. Eliminations on Day 1d included Phil Gordon, Brian Townsend, John Tabatabai, Justin Smith, Michael Craig, Jose Barbero, Steve Dannenmann, Joe Hachem, John Juanda, Allen Kessler, Cliff Josephy, Sorel Mizzi and Wendeen Eolis - the first woman to cash in a WSOP event back in 1986.

Survivors who will make Day 2 that much more interesting included David Benyamine, Bill Chen, Vanessa Rousso, Josh Arieh, Frank Kassela, Phil Ivey and Jason Mercier.

Professional poker player Josh Arieh loves to play golf, and this week he picked up a unique opportunity on the links: he got to serve as caddy for John Smoltz while the latter tried to qualify for the upcoming U.S. Open, slated for June at Pebble Beach.

Smoltz is a former professional baseball player for the Atlanta Braves who unofficially retired from the sport this year as the only pitcher to record more than 200 wins and 150 saves. He is widely considered a future Hall of Famer. He and Arieh have been friends for years, so Smoltz picked the poker pro to advise him, provide support.

We all love Josh Arieh. Good luck in the poker games!
