Bloch Goes Runner, Runner Into the Quarterfinals

[user65508]

Andy Bloch and Scott Fischman got it all in pre-flop for Fischman's tournament life; Bloch held {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

to Fischman's {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

. Fischman survived the flop of {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

, and held the only club, but the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

on the turn gave Bloch additional outs for a flush. The river delivered the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

and proved fatal to Scott Fischman's championship aspirations.

Bloch will face Orel Hershiser in the quarterfinal of the Hearts portion of the bracket.
