Andy Bloch Draws First Blood

Andy Bloch bet 100,000 after a flop of {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Chris Ferguson made the call. When the {9-Diamonds} hit the board on the turn, Jesus, slightly ahead in chips, shoved his stack into the middle putting Bloch to a decision for all of his chips.

Andy made the call holding {Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, good for a made flush, and the {Q-Hearts} on the river could not save "Jesus" who had revealed pocket eights for a set.

Bloch took a monster chip lead in the match with the win.
