If Anyone Can, Tann Can

(Omaha)

"Easy table?" observed Stuart Nash with a smirk. But despite being swamped by big names (Brunson, Bloch, Helppi, Greenstein), Willie Tann has just managed to double up his depleted stack and increased his tally 5,500 as a result.

With two or three limpers before him, Tann made it 1,000 from late position and received two callers, including Brunson and Bloch.

On the {J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{K-Hearts} flop, the action folded around to Tann who pushed all in for a total of 1,150. Bloch was the sole caller.

"Just aces," declared Tann nervously as he revealed {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. But he had his nose in front, Bloch flipping {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs} onto the felt. A harmless {5-Diamonds} and {K-Diamonds} later, and the Brit scooped the pot.

Bloch, meanwhile, has taken a hit his stack can ill afford, and is consequently down to 2,100.
