Back on Day 1b, Guy Bachar did better than any other players and finished as chip leader. He carried that momentum into Day 2 and continued to add to his stack. He was going the same here on Day 3, but he recently hit a major roadblock.
We're not sure of all the betting, but we do know that Bachar six-bet all in preflop and Antonin Duda called off for 574,000, creating a pot of nearly 1.2 million.
Showdown
Bachar:
Duda:
Bachar sat stoically as the TV cameras swarmed. He seemed content with the possibility of cracking kings, but when the flop made that highly unlikely, he cracked. Bachar mumbled a bit, rose from his seat and walked away from the table. He returned in time to see the
turn give him a gut-shot straight draw, but the
river would not complete it.
With that, Bachar sent more than half his stack to Duda and was knocked down to average.
