Josh Arieh

Josh Arieh (born September 26, 1974, in Rochester, New York)[citation needed] is an American professional poker player.

[2][3] At the 2005 World Series of Poker, he won his second bracelet by defeating Chris Ferguson in a Pot Limit Omaha event.

[4] Arieh finished runner-up in the 2014 World Series of Poker $5,000 No Limit Hold'em - Eight Handed (Event #35).

[18] Arieh has the reputation as something of a divisive figure, often relying on verbal bullying when trying to force a hand.

He has earned the friendship and respect of many of his competitors, but has also committed several faux pas during his career, lambasting Harry Demetriou after an important hand in the Main Event of the 2004 World Series of Poker and, after being eliminated from that tournament, pulling one of the remaining players (David Williams) aside and whispering a censored remark referring to the other remaining opponent, eventual champion Greg Raymer.
