Bloch Triples Up With Queen-High

On a flop of {4-Clubs} {5-Spades} {J-Spades}, one player led out for 5,200. Andy Bloch went all in for 5,700 before a player behind him raised pot for over 30,000. The first player flashed a jack and a five before he mucked, leaving Bloch alone with the raiser.

Bloch: {Q-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds}

Each player had the same partial wrap straight draw, but Bloch's opponent also had a flush draw. The turn and river bricked out with a non-spade ace and a non-spade nine, leaving Bloch's queen-high as the best hand. He now has about 26,000 chips.
