Andy Bloch: {x-}{x-} / {Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts} / {x-}
Stephen Su: {x-}{x-} / {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} / {x-}

Picking up the action on fourth street, Su checked and Bloch bet. Su made the call. On fifth street, Su led out with a pair of nines and Bloch raised. Su called. On sixth street, Su check-called a bet from Bloch and then both players checked seventh street.

Stephen Su Eliminated in 3rd Place ($50,332)

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Stephen Su - 3rd Place.
Stephen Su - 3rd Place.

After making quads on fifth street in a previous hand, Andy Bloch completed with the {a-Diamonds}. Stephen Su raised with the {7-Clubs}, and Barry Greenstein, who brought it in with the {3-Spades}, folded. Bloch called.

Bloch check-called a bet on fourth street, and then led out on fifth. Su raised, putting himself all in, and Bloch called.

Bloch - ({j-Clubs}{6-Spades}) / {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Su - ({j-Spades}{7-Hearts}) / {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

Both players were dealt a ten on sixth street, and Bloch's pair of tens gave him the lead. Seventh street was dealt face-down, and Bloch immediately turned over the {5-Clubs}. Su needed a jack, seven, three, four, or ten to survive, but the {5-Hearts} was no help.

Su receives $50,332 for his third-place finish, while Bloch is now heads up, looking for his first WSOP bracelet.
