Bloch Knocked Out

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante
Andy Bloch
Andy Bloch

Graeme Putt kicked off a limp-fest when he called in early position. William Thorson followed suit, as did the next two players. When the action came to Andy Bloch in the big blind, he reraised the pot -- 3,600 total. That only managed to chase out Putt as the other three players all called.

The flop came {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {9-Clubs}, and Bloch moved all in for 10,000. Thorson's raise to 20,500 isolated him against Bloch, and the two men went to a showdown with Bloch's tournament life hanging in the balance.

Thorson turned up the {9-Spades} and asked, "Am I good?" His full hand was {6-Clubs} {6-Spades} {4-Clubs} {9-Spades}, and Bloch's {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {4-Spades} was well in front. The turn {J-Hearts} was safe and sound, but the river {6-Hearts} was a disaster for Bloch. Thorson found his full house, and Bloch has been sent to the exit with 21 players remaining.
