On the first bout, he calls Daniel Skoglund's 112,000 shove. Arbel is ahead with A♦ K♥ against Skoglund's A♣ 5♠. However, the board favors Skoglund with a five on the flop that holds throughout a board 2♥ 3♥ 5♥ 6♠J♦ . Next showdown was against Somashekhar Sanampuri whose Ace-King dominated Arbel's Ace-Jack.
