Mike Latour continues to add to his lead here, and thus, his legend.

Rick Block raised it up preflop and Rob Burgstahler flatted. Latour joined the party and they went three-handed to an {8-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Spades} flop. Block led 8,000 and both Burgstahler and Latour called.

The turn came the {9-Clubs} and Block simply jammed his last 18,000-plus. Burgstahler flatted and Latour leaned back and fired it all in, having everyone covered. Burgstahler was forced to fold.

Latour had flopped it with the {J-Spades}{10-Spades} and Block needed another spade, holding the {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The river bricked, Latour dragged the sizable pot, and with Block out of the way, he's now closing in on 200,000.
