Two Big Hands for Bloch

OMG Quads?! WTF?
OMG Quads?! WTF?
Three players saw a flop of {J-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} after a pre-flop raise to 600. The action was checked to a middle position player, who bet 600. Bloch check-raised to 4,000, sending his opponent into the tank. The MP player eventually shoved for an additional 14,000 and Bloch made the call.

Bloch {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
MP player {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The turn was the {6-Clubs}, the river was the {8-Spades}, and Bloch's stack jumped to 40,000.

On the very next hand, the UTG player limped, Bloch limped from the button, Amnon Filippi raised to 600, the UTG player called and Bloch called. The flop was T-T-7. Filippi checked, the UTG player bet 1,000, Bloch called and Filippi folded. The turn was another 7. Bloch bet and the UTG player called. The river was a 9 and all the chips went into the middle. The UTG player turned up 7-7 for quads, while Bloch held a ten for a full house. His stack slipped to (a still-healthy) 30,000 on the hand.
