Bloch Doubles Twice

Andy Bloch's not out... yet.
Andy Bloch's not out... yet.
We walked by Andy Bloch's table and saw that he had only 1,200 chips left. We weren't the only ones. An ESPN camera crew quickly materialized as well.

"They sense a weak animal," Bloch joked with his table. "It's not gonna be long guys."

Two hands later, Bloch reraised all in for 1,175 from late position after a middle-position player opened for 900. It folded back to the middle-position player who mucked his hand!

The whole table was shocked. It seemed that the first raiser didn't realize the amount of Bloch's reraise. "I thought that was a 5,000 chip," he said. "Good hand Andy. Make sure that gets on TV."

The very next hand Bloch was all in again, this time for 2,725 over an initial raise of 900. The initial raiser called with {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} and was racing Bloch's {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}

"Oh, the door card!" Bloch exclaimed as the dealer spread a flop of {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. "And he has a flush draw." The draw didn't hit on the {2-Clubs} turn or the {K-Diamonds} river. Bloch doubled again to about 6,000.
