Rick Block continues to play fast and loose with other people's money as he works on yet another bullet in this $300 event - One of too many to count.

A former champion here at Seneca Niagara who has recently fallen on tough times - including the roof caving it at his beloved Alden Lanes bowling alley in Alden, NY - Block had been bleeding chips for most of the past couple of levels before finally making a stand moments ago.

This amounted to shoving for well under starting over a small open. {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} looked him up, and somehow Block managed to avoid another disaster with his {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} holding on a {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades} board.
