Eric Gierlinger opened with a preflop raise and it folded to Rick Block who made it 30,000 from the button. Action folded to Gierlinger and he called to see a flop.
The dealer fanned 
on the felt and Gierlinger checked. Block announced an all in bet and Gierlinger called for his tournament life of 88,000.

Gierlinger was far out in front with top pair and secured a double after the turn (
