It has been brought to my attention – *ahem* – that Josh Arieh and Bodog parted ways amicably and by way of a mutual decision. At least that\’s what Arieh said in a PokerNews interview.
\”Luckily I have been smart with the money I\’ve earned in the last five years in poker and not being sponsored won\’t keep me away from the tables. It was a great three-year run with Bodog. Angela (Josh\’s wife) and I have met a few of our closest friends through Bodog and it probably wouldn\’t have been possible if I weren\’t with them. I won the Calvin Ayre Wildcard Poker event because of my affiliation with them. I\’ve got nothing but kind words to say about them… they were a stepping stone in my life and now I\’m ready to move on to bigger and better things that I know will present themselves to me.\”
Okay, okay. So Bodog didn\’t boot Arieh. I still have my doubts about what went on behind closed doors, but that is solely my opinion.
