Arieh sends five flying from Bodog.com

Josh Arieh is reaping the benefits of his recent focus on his online poker game. The pro is dominating Bodog.com's weekly tournament leaderboard heads-up play by winning five consecutive games.

His winning streak has pushed the cumulative prize pool up to $6,000 and sent some of Bodog.com's best players to the virtual rail.

Until his recent appearance at the European Poker Tour Grand Final in Monte Carlo, Arieh had shifted his attention to online play.

On Monday, he proved this practice made perfect when he faced opponents head2782 and jraye87 - two tournament leaderboard veterans.

heads2782 has faced Bodog.com pros in the past and has met with success. He currently sits in second place in both the monthly and yearly standings on the site. The player has also won and finished second in the $50,000 guaranteed tournament.

Monday was jraye87's first heads-up match against the pros, but he still came to the table with a Sunday $100,000 guaranteed win, a $70,000 guaranteed win and an $11,000 guaranteed win.
