Juanda's Path Finally Bloched

After enough back-and-forth to fill an entire episode, Andy Bloch has finally finished John Juanda. Bloch moved in with {k-Spades}{2-Spades}, and Juanda called all in with {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

The {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop gave Bloch top pair. Juanda wasn't out yet, as the {q-Clubs} on the turn gave him five outs. But the {8-Hearts} river paired the board, and with kings and eights, Bloch moves on to play Jason Mercier tomorrow. We'll see if Bloch's "run like a human being" can stand Mercier's heat.

Somehow, Jonathan Duhamel and Melburn Whitmire are still going. There has only been one all in on their table so far.
