Andy Bloch (Seen Here Playing an Earlier WSOP Event)

Without his signature snakeskin cowboy hat, Andy Bloch has maintained a low profile thus far at the 2013 World Series of Poker, escaping the media attention he generated during past years. With three cashes to his credit thus far, however, Bloch has proven that his skills on the felt have not dulled during his down time.

Bloch is here today competing in the Little One for One Drop, and he is faring quite well midway through the day.

We caught Bloch raising to 375 from early position, after a player limped in from under the gun. The two went heads-up to the flop, which fell . The limper tried a feeler bet of 425, and Bloch flatted to take the on the turn. Both palyers tapped the table when the third five arrived, and the completed the board on the river.

After another check to him by the limper, Bloch tossed out a bet of 850 and that was enough to force the fold. Bloch has doubled his starting stack already, and with fellow pros firing their second, third, and even fourth bullets already, the dangerous pro has moved ahead of the pack.
