Eastgate Defeats Bloch

Andy Bloch chats with Peter Eastgate after their match
2008 WSOP Main Event Champion Peter Eastgate has just eliminated last year's NBC Heads-up runner-up Andy Bloch from the competition to secure himself a spot in the Round of 32.

Bloch check-raised all in with a king-high flush draw after the flop came down ace-high with two hearts. Eastgate made the call with the {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades}, which was good for top pair. Both the turn and river blanked ({7-Spades}, {10-Clubs}) and Eastgate's aces held up to win the match. He will play Sam Farha in the next round.
