Andy Bloch Doubles Up, to Cheering From the Upstairs Bar

After a brief raising war, Andy Bloch found himself all in and in fine shape with {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} against John Kabbaj's {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. A six-less {Q-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {8-Hearts} board later and Bloch was cheerfully back up to a a very playable 160,000, to a soundtrack of roaring applause from pro-Bloch supporters hanging over the railing of the mezzanine bar. Meanwhile, a rather depressed Kabbaj had been crippled down to a 35,000 micro-stack and was asking for aspirins.
