He didnt really have to call 11k with one pair though. Dont think its really that bad a cooler. There are also a buuuuunch of hands he is behind on this flop too.

Anyone think Andy Bloch is good yet? The guy doesnt get enough respect.

The higher the buyin, the better he plays. He crushed the first 50K HORSE WSOP event. I'm going back and rereading his chapter in the Full Tilt Strategy Guide to soak up some knowledge.
