NBC National Heads-Up Championship - Flopping Fours

  Blackjack is a game that is normally played you against the dealer, and that one on one action is a big draw to the popular game of "Twenty One." One poker player that knows a lot about blackjack is Andy Bloch, a former member of the infamous MIT Blackjack team, and that one on one game play helped him prepare for games like the one he played during the most recent NBC National Heads-Up Championship. In these matches the games were all one on one, and a player had to defeat their opponent to move on to the next round.  In this particular round Andy Bloch faced a veteran of the heads up format, Scott Fischman. Bloch started things off with Cowboys. His: ... merited a raise to $3,000, which was called by Scott, who was holding: ... a hand that was likely to get him into trouble. Lucky for Scott the flop brought him a gift: another four. The flop hit: ... Not wanting to slow play his set, Scott bet out $2,500, getting a call from Andy. The turn came: ... and this time Scott bet out $4,000 in tourney chips. Once more Andy called, thinking he was trapping Scott. When the river hit: ... Scott thought he would try something and slowed down with a check. Andy, however, checked behind, suspicious of a flush, and Scott took off with a nice lead.
