Bach Sneaks in for Half

Omaha-8

David Bach raised the button and Erik Sagstrom three-bet from the small blind. John Hanson folded the big blind and Bach made the call.

The flop fell {9-Clubs}

and Sagstrom led out with a bet. Bach made the call.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}

and Sagstrom fired again. Once again Bach made the call.

The river landed the {2-Spades}

and both players checked it down.

Sagstrom showed {A-Diamonds}

for aces and sevens as Bach gets half with {8-Diamonds}

for an eight low. Chop it up!

Lunkin Loses a Huge Pot

Razz

Vitaly Lunkin (X)(X) {9-?}

(X)
Erik Sagstrom (X)(X) {A-?}

(X)

John Hanson had the bring-in with a king, Vitaly Lunkin called, Erik Sagstrom completed, Hanson folded and Lunkin called. Sagstrom led out on fourth, fifth, and sixth streets, Lunkin calling along.

Sagstrom led out on the river. Lunkin looked positively sick to his stomach, shaking his head and muttering to himself before mucking his cards.

As Sagstrom raked in the pot, six twenty-somethings swilling beers let out a chant in Swedish. I imagine we'll be hearing more of it as the night goes on...

That brings an end to the Razz round where six of the eight hands couldn't make it past fourth street.

Hopefully Stud will be more to their liking!
