Bloch Excuses Himself From Disaster

Andy Bloch
Andy Bloch

We got to Andy Bloch's table to him in the big blind and involved in a pot with four other players - the small blind, cutoff and button.

All four players checked the {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop. When the {7-Hearts} came on the river, the small blind bet 1,850 and Bloch called. The player in the cutoff raised to 7,000 and the player in the button got out of the way before the small blind announced he was all in for about 28,000. Bloch folded, but the cutoff called for his last 20,000.

Cutoff: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Small Blind: {5-Spades}{7-Spades}

The player in the cutoff had the nuts for the time being, but the small blind had plenty of outs. None of them came, though, with the river delivering the {q-Hearts}.
