The Final Four

Bloch and Sexton
Bloch and Sexton
Before play started today, Mike Sexton mentioned that he thought today's final table was the first in history with four players who had each won a million dollars in a single poker tournament. The four were Andy Bloch, Nenad Medic, Kathy Liebert, and Mike Sexton himself. The four players left in today's event are...Andy Bloch, Nenad Medic, Kathy Liebert, and Mike Sexton. The four are also clustered in seats on the left side of the table.

We're not sure if any of this means anything (actually we're pretty sure that is doesn't) but when Mike Sexton takes time to point something out it tends to stick in your mind.

Hand #55 - Andy Bloch

Kathy Liebert has the button in Seat 9. Nenad Medic raises to 175,000 and Andy Bloch calls from the small blind. The flop is {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} and both players check. The turn is the {10-Diamonds} and they check again. The river is the {2-Spades}. Bloch bets 200,000, and after a bit of a think, Medic folds. Bloch wins the pot.

Hand #56 - Andy Bloch

Andy Bloch has the button in Seat 5. He raises to 150,000 and Nenad Medic calls from the big blind. The flop is {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades} and both players check. The turn is the {4-Hearts}. Medic checks, Bloch checks. The river is the {K-Spades}. Check-check a third time. Bloch has a pair of sixes and they're good enough to take it down.
