Bloch Back in Business

After watching his stack shrink to 73,000 Andy Bloch is back up to an average stack after chasing his opponents away with an all-in move.

Bloch was the initial raiser, making it 2,700 to go from UTG+1. Yevgeniy Timoshenko reraised to 8,400 from middle position, J.C. Tran flat-called from the cutoff, Alec Torelli called from the button, and Bloch called.

The flop was {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}. Bloch checked, Timoshenko bet 18,000, Tran folded, Torelli called, and Bloch came over the top for the rest of his chips, 71,100 in all. Timoshenko insta-mucked, but Torelli tanked for quite a while before ultimately giving up his hand and conceding the pot to Bloch.

After the hand, Bloch was up to over 140,000.
