Bach Forces Fold From Seed

Stud

Seed: (X-X) {J-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} (X)
Bach: (X-X) {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} (X)

Ville Wahlbeck was the bring in with the {2-Clubs} and Huck Seed completed. David Bach raised and the table folded back to Seed who made the call.

Bach led on fourth before Seed put in a raise. Bach made the call before firing again on fifth. Seed made the call.

Bach once again fired 80,000 on sixth and Seed called but the final barrel by Bach on the river was enough to take it down as Seed finally gave it up.

Hanson Soaks in the Tank

It's one bet, dude...
It's one bet, dude...
Stud

John Hanson (X)(X) {A-Clubs} {5-Spades} {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs} (X)
Huck Seed (X)(X) {K-Hearts} {2-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} (X)

Erik Seidel had the bring-in with the {4-Spades}, John Hanson completed, Huck Seed raised, Seidel folded and Hanson called.

Hanson check-called a bet from Seed on fourth street. Seed made an open pair of kings on fifth and led out, Hanson making the call. Hanson called another bet from Seed on sixth. Seed then bet the river.

Hanson let out a long sigh as he contemplated the call. Several minutes later as he continued to tank and the clock ticked down, Erik Sagstrom got bored, pulled out his phone and started texting. Finally, Hanson gave up his hand, Seed took down the pot, Sagstrom put away his phone, and we can finally play another hand.

Ville Wahlbeck was the bring in with the {2-Hearts} and Vitaly Lunkin completed. David Bach made the call and Wahlbeck folded.

Lunkin fired bets on every street with Bach calling him down the whole way.

Lunkin revealed ({5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}) for an ace-high flush which was good as Bach mucked his hand.

It's Game On!

Chau Giang is currently talking up a storm. We've yet to see him be too active here at this final table but that hasn't stopped him from chattering away to his opponents.

We're unable to decipher exactly what Chau is saying but according to our announcer, "He said it's game on...roughly translated."
