Bloch Topples Edler

Andy Bloch

Andy Bloch has just eliminated fellow Full Tilter Bill Edler from the field.

This preflop all-in extravaganza pitted Edler's {A-Clubs} {8-Spades} against Bloch's pocket nines. A {K-Clubs} {6-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} board ran out in favor of Bloch, sending Edler to the rail.

Keep in mind, Andy made an impressive run at this year's National Heads-Up Championships where he recorded a runner-up finish to his Team Full Tilt compadre Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson. Another deep run in this tournament would certainly put Bloch in the upper echelon of high-stakes heads-up kingpins.
