[user75032]

David Bach

Brutality for David Bach's opponent. Bach bet fifth street and called a bet on sixth street. Everything went haywire on the river, with Bach showing x-x / {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

/ x and his opponent showing x-x / {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

/ x. Bach's opponent bet; Bach raises; his opponent reraised; and Bach just called. His opponent showed down {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

in the hole for an ace-high flush. The only problem was that Bach had one of those as well, {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{k-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

, and Bach's flush was higher. He dragged the pot.

"Why didn't you reraise?" Bach's opponent asked.

"I thought you had a full house."
