[user101598]

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Andy Bloch - (x) (x) / {a-Spades} {8-Clubs} {j-Clubs} {6-Spades} / (x)
Eric Buchman - (x) (x) / {6-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {j-Hearts} / (x)

Buchman completed, Bloch raised, and Buchman was his only caller. Bloch led out on fourth street and Buchman called. After catching a pair on fifth, it was Buchman's turn to lead. Bloch called. Buchman again bet on sixth, Bloch called, and Buchman bet blind on seventh. Bloch sweated his last card, tanked momentarily, and tossed in two yellow T1,000 chips to make the call.

"Just a pair of fives," Buchman sighed.

Bloch tabled {k-Hearts} {q-Spades} {a-Hearts} for a pair of aces, scooped the pot, and is now up to 77,000 chips. Buchman dropped to 46,000.
