Hand #400

Omaha-8

Yes, as we tick past 7 a.m local time, the second hand of the Omaha-8 round is the 400th hand of this final table which puts us in rarified territory as far as major tournament final tables go.

The hand itself was totally uninspiring and not blog worthy.

What's on Their Table?

Each player has a small table next to their seat where they're setting down their personal items.

On Bach's table: One empty water bottle, one half-full water bottle, coffee, beef jerky

On Hanson's table: One water bottle, cup of tea, empty container of 5-hour energy, unidentifiable small vial, beef jerky

Scoop for Bach

Omaha-8

Catching the action on a board of {K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, John Hanson led out with a bet from the big blind and David Bach made the call on the button.

The river brought the {3-Diamonds} and Hanson checked to Bach, who fired a bet. Hanson called.

Bach tabled {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a straight and low to scoop and extend his chip lead.
