Rick Block raised to 50,000, Joseph Elia three-bet to120,00 and Block called. On the {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, Elia led out for 150,000. Block min-raised to 300,000, and Elia shoved. Block called.

Elia: {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Block: {K-Clubs}{8-Spades}

Block picked off Elia's bluff, and the {J-Spades} turn left him one card away from the title. But fate would have it another way as the {9-Hearts} drilled the river, giving Elia a huge double up and most of the chips in play.
