Andy Bloch Advances to the Finals

Heads-Up Finalist Andy Bloch
Heads-Up Finalist Andy Bloch
Leading in the match and on the button, Andy Bloch moved all in, but in fact it was Huck Seed's chips that were all in after the former world champ called Bloch's pre-flop raise. Bloch showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, while Huck Seed tabled {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

The race was on and by the turn, the board read {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} with Huck in the lead, one card, a non-ace or queen, away from doubling up. The infamous river card was the {A-Clubs}, sending Huck to the rail for the remainder of the tournament.

Huck will take home $125,000 in prize money for his semi-final performance. With the win, Andy Bloch advances to his first NBC Heads-Up Championship and will have his hands full with three-time finalist Chris "Jesus" Ferguson.
