A player moved all in from the button for 31,000, the small blind called, and Joey Block moved all in over the top from the big blind for about 125,000. The small blind folded.

The player on the button turned over 10s8h, but needed to improve to stay alive against Block’s JhJc.

The board came JsJd3h9h4c, and Block flopped quad jacks to win the pot and eliminate his opponent from Flight G.

Joey Block  –  190,000  (76 bb)
