Andrew Blum Eliminated in 13th Place ($5,818)

Level 23 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Andrew Blum opened the pot with a raise to 33,000, and Michael Rocco three-bet all in with his big stack. Blum quickly called all in for just over 200,000, and he was at risk but in good shape as the cards were turned up.

Showdown
Blum: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}
Rocco: {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}

The {5-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} flop was a good start for Rocco, and he asked the poker gods for an ace. "I know it's coming," he said. The ace never came, but the {Q-Hearts} on the turn was just as good. Blum was one card from the exit, and the river {6-Hearts} failed to save his tournament life. He's out in 13th place, and Rocco has moved up over the half-million chip mark with that knockout.
