On the Chopping Bloch

Andy Bloch's never-ending hunt for at bracelet will be going on for a least one more tournament.

He squeezed against Mike Karam's UTG raise to 400, which had been called by Matt Marafioti, moving all-in for 2,300 from the blinds. Karam folded but Marafioti made the call with {5-Spades} {5-Clubs} and was flipping against Bloch's {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}. The board fell {8-Spades} {J-Spades} {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {8-Clubs}, and eliminated Bloch.
