Sore Already??

We've been playing for about 45 minutes now and David Bach is already well into his usual massage therapy session. It's not unusual for players to receive massages at the table--at any given moment there are probably several dozen players getting rubdowns.

But Bach takes it to another level. During the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship Bach had something along the lines of an eight-hour massage, one that involved some serious arm-contorting and spine-snapping jolts. Today Bach is getting his neck and shoulders rubbed with such ferocity that he's shaking like a bobblehead. Everyone has their own methods for getting in the proper mood for a long, long day at the table.
