Josh Arieh plays online at Full Tilt Poker.

"Atlanta Josh" Arieh was born in Rochester, New York, but moved to Atlanta with his family when he was eight-years-old and has lived there ever since. An avid pool player in his younger years, one night Josh and his friends decided to put down the pool cues and pick up some cards for a change of pace. He fell in love with the game of poker on the spot.

Josh announced himself to the poker world as a force to be reckoned with when he won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in the 1999 $3,000 Limit Hold 'em event, cashing for over $200K. He won his second bracelet at the 2005 WSOP, taking down the $2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event for more than $380K.

But Josh is perhaps best known for his final table appearance at the 2004 WSOP Main Event. Navigating a field of 2,576 players - a record number of entrants at the time – he came in third place for a whopping payday of $2.5 million. Having garnered a considerable amount of face-time on TV, Josh is now recognized as one of the rising stars in the poker world.

Josh has also experienced a good deal of success outside of the WSOP, including a second-place finish in the 2009 WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic Main Event worth $952K. He plays a fearless, aggressive style of poker, which is perfectly suited to his favorite game − Pot-Limit Omaha.

When he’s not at the table, you can find Josh at the nearest golf course or spending time with his wife and three children. Look for Josh playing online at Full Tilt Poker.
