Rick Block, one of our Players to Watch here at the WNY Poker Challenge, raised to 1,600 from the hijack and got calls from the cutoff, button and big blind. On the {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop, action checked over to Block and he fired 3,300. The cutoff moved all in for a little more than 5,000, and Block called after the other two players got out of the way.

Cutoff: {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Block: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Block needed to fade a heart to win the pot and he did just that when the {10-Spades} and {2-Clubs} completed the board. Block is back above starting stack after dropping below 15,000 for much of the day.
