Rick Block Eliminated in 2nd Place ($8,906)
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Rick Block min-raised his button and Joseph Elia moved all in. Block instantly called off for 300,000. Once again, Block got it in good with the 
against 
, and his position improved on the 
flop. But Elia picked up straight outs on the 
turn, and then the 
appeared on the river, securing the win for Elia with Broadway. A visibly irritated Block walked out of the poker room, but he returned a few minutes later to congratulate Elia on the title.
