Andy Bloch

Math whiz Andy Bloch now sits with 8,700 in chips after doubling through an unknown opponent.

We caught up to the hand with the board showing {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

. First to act, Bloch bet 1,000 into the ~2,000 pot; his opponent made the call.

The {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

then fell on the river and Bloch moved all in for his last 2,000. His opponent double-pumped a pair of yellow 1,000-denomination chips before eventually tossing them reluctantly into the middle.

At the showdown, Bloch tabled {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

for an eight-high straight and his opponent immediately mucked.
