2015 Seneca Niagara Falls Summer Slam Event #1 champ Rick Block jumped in late and immediately four flushed with pocket sixes to double up.
A few hands later he picked up aces, got it in against pocket eights and now has more than triple the starting stack.
All this to no one's surprise as the Alden, NY resident wins everything and always seems to have it or get there. His resume also includes a WSOP Circuit ring win in Atlantic City, a Venetian Deepstack Extravaganza win in Las Vegas and Main Event victory at the 2014 Fall Poker Classic right here at Seneca.
