#249L - London Journal #15L - Million Dollar Cash Game #12 - Opposites Attract

On the second to last hand before the 9:30 PM break, Andy Bloch and Tony G got into it.

There were a few limpers and Chris Ferguson raised from the big blind. Tony G and Andy Bloch called. The flop came

Ts-9h-4h.

Ferguson and Bloch checked and Tony bet $5,000. Andy moved in the rest of his chips, about $55,000. Chris folded and Tony G went into the tank …Tony G style.

As the camera focused on him contemplating his decision, he blew his nose into a bright blue napkin. “I’ve got pocket fives,” he explained. “You have a flush draw and a small card …. I should call …. Take it.”

Tony G asked Andy to show and Andy flashed one card, the eight of hearts.

So what did Andy have? A better hand? A strong draw? A bluff? You can find out when it appears on European television in several months, or you can listen to Jeremiah Smith’s interview with Andy during the break by clicking HERE.
