Level 9
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
Action folded around to Andy Bloch in the small blind and he moved forward a raise. Scott Clements called from the big blind and the flop came down 
. Bloch continued, Clements called, and the dealer put out the 
on the turn.
Bloch fired once more and Clements stuck around. The river was the 
and Bloch slowed with a check. Clements took this opportunity to bet and Bloch casually flung out a call. Clements rolled over 
for a queen-high straight which was good enough to take down the pot. Clements is now up to 74,000 in chips while Bloch has fallen to 33,000.
