Bloch Sweats Out a Double

Andy Bloch was at risk with {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} when he and John Juanda got their chips in preflop after plenty of small ball. Juanda's {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} got a little help from the {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop. The audience collectively gasped at the {9-Clubs} turn, but the card quickly came into focus on the overhead monitors to show it wasn't another ten. The {2-Diamonds} river was clearly safe, and Bloch doubled to take a small lead. Blinds are huge at this point, and it's still anyone's game.
