Bloch Stirs Durrr

[user24788]
[user24788]
On a flop of {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Tom "Durrr" Dwan bet 5,500. Andy Bloch called. The turn was the {10-Clubs}. Durrr bet 16,500 and Bloch called. The river was the {5-Diamonds}. Durrr checked. Bloch bet 20,000. Durrr went into the tank and he folded his hand with one second to go before his hand would have been killed (since players only get 30 seconds to act on their hands).

Bloch won the pot and increased his stack to 145,000. Durrr slipped to 70,000.
