Bloch bet 75,000 from the big blind and Lipton raised to 400,000 from middle position. Bloch called.
The J♣ fell on the turn and Bloch checked to Lipton, who shoved for 840,000 total. Bloch counted the pot and stuck in a call after a bit of deliberation.
Chad Lipton: A♥Q♣
Peter Bloch: J♠10♠
Lipton was ahead, but had to fade a lot of outs against Bloch's two pair and flush draws.
The 9♠ river completed Bloch's flush and Lipton was eliminated.
