Bloch Flushes Lipton Out
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Peter Bloch and Chad Lipton were heads-up on a flop of 3?A?4?.
Bloch bet 75,000 from the big blind and Lipton raised to 400,000 from middle position. Bloch called.
The J? fell on the turn and Bloch checked to Lipton, who shoved for 840,000 total. Bloch counted the pot and stuck in a call after a bit of deliberation.
Chad Lipton: A?Q?
Peter Bloch: J?10?
Lipton was ahead, but had to fade a lot of outs against Bloch's two pair and flush draws.
The 9? river completed Bloch's flush and Lipton was eliminated.
