Bloch Makes Correct Call For Half

Level 17
Andy Bloch Takes the High
Andy Bloch Takes the High

Picking up with the action on the flop, we found Todd Barlow, Andy Bloch, and Christopher George looking down at a board of {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Barlow and Bloch checked over to George who fired out a bet. Both players called to see fourth street.

The dealer rapped the table and flipped over the {6-Diamonds}. Three checks prompted the final card, the {3-Hearts}, to strike the felt. Barlow checked and Bloch checked behind. George cut out one final bet and Barlow quickly called.

Bloch went into the tank for quite some time before reaching for a stack of chips and making the over-call.

George showed {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for the nut low and Barlow fanned {A-Diamonds}{x-}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for the same nut low. Bloch showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

"Ace-queen for the high," the dealer stated at first.

"Pair of fives," someone else chimed in.

Bloch's pair of fives was good for the high while George and Barlow each received one quarter of the low.

"That's a world class over-call right there," stated Mike Matusow to Bloch from across the table. "World class."

"Nah, it'd be world class if I just had ace-queen," replied Bloch who stood up and walked over to continue talking with Matusow.

Ivey Chopped Up and Eliminated By Bloch and Rabtsov

Level 17
Phil Ivey - Eliminated
Phil Ivey - Eliminated

The three short stacks at table 359 just went to battle and Phil Ivey was the one left with no chips. Rabtsov was all in preflop and Ivey's remaining few thousand went in after the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{4-Spades} flop.

Bloch: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Rabtsov: {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Ivey: {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{J-Hearts}

Despite flopping two pair and the nut-flush draw, Ivey trailed Bloch's top set and Rabtsov's nut low draw. The {8-Diamonds} turn and {8-Hearts} river secured the high for Bloch with aces full, while Rabtsov made the nut low.

Duhamel Bests Richey

Level 17

Jonathan Duhamel raised from the cutoff only to have Brett Richey make it three bets from the button. Action folded back to the 2010 WSOP Main Event champion who called the three-bet.

The two took a flop of {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Duhamel check-called a bet from Richey. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Duhamel checked a second time. Richey fired off another bet and Duhamel stuck around. The board finished off with the {Q-Spades} and Duhamel check-called one final bet.

Richey showed {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for aces and treys but was bested by Duhamel's {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for flopped trips. Duhamel dragged in the pot and now has about 126,000. Richey has been crippled to about 22,000 in chips.

Michael Moed Eliminated By Dan Kelly

Level 17

A short-stacked Michael Moed was all in from the button for about 9,000 against against Dan Kelly in the big blind and Paul Sokoloff in early position.

Kelly check-called bets from Sokoloff all the way down the {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} board.

Sokoloff: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Kelly: {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Moed: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Kelly's nine-high straight bested Sokoloff's eight-high straight and Moed's set for the high, while Kelly's 7-6-5-3-A low beat Sokoloff's 7-6-5-4-A low and Moed's 7-6-5-3-2 low to scoop the pot and score the elimination.

You Know Dasher and Danzer

The flop brought {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Danzer checked it over to the raiser and Barbero checked behind. The turn saw the {K-Hearts} and Danzer fired out a bet. Barbero called and the river was the {Q-Spades}.

Danzer dropped down one more bet and Barbero decided to let it go. Danzer dragged in the pot and now has around 120,000 in chips.
