Another Pot for Sagstrom, Another Chorus from His Railbirds

Razz

David Bach (X)(X) {10-?} {Q-?} {3-?} {K-?}
Erik Sagstrom (X)(X) {8-?} {Q-?} {A-?} {3-?}

Vitaly Lunkin brought it in with a ten, David Bach called, Erik Sagstrom completed, Lunkin folded and Bach called. Sagstrom fired at Bach on fourth, fifth, and sixth streets, Bach finally folding on sixth when he bricked for the second time.

Sagstrom won the pot and the Swedes let out another chorus.

Lunkin Loses a Huge Pot

Razz

Vitaly Lunkin (X)(X){9-?} {3-?} {4-?} {Q-?} (X)
Erik Sagstrom (X)(X) {A-?} {7-?} {5-?} {8-?} (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...

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}{A-Clubs}{2-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}{7-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for aces and sevens as Bach gets half with {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for an eight low. Chop it up!

Bach's Set Scoops

Omaha-8

Vitaly Lunkin raised from the small blind and David Bach called from the big blind.

The flop came down {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {5-Hearts}. Lunkin bet and Bach called. Both players checked the {2-Clubs} on the turn. The river was the {A-Spades}. Lunkin bet and Bach called.

Lunkin showed {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {8-Spades} {2-Spades} for two pair, but Bach had him with {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} for a set of jacks and scooped the pot.

Hanson Takes One from Lunkin

Omaha-8

Vitaly Lunkin opened for a raise and John Hanson called from the big blind. The two saw a flop of {10-Clubs} {6-Spades} {3-Hearts}. Hanson check-called a bet from Lunkin. Both players checked the {Q-Hearts} on the turn. The {A-Hearts} hit the river and Hanson bet. Lunkin gave it up and Hanson won the pot.

Sagstrom Squeezed Out

Omaha-8

Erik Sagstrom raised from under the gun and Vitaly Lunkin called in the small blind. David Bach then declared a rase from the big blind and both opponents made the call.

The flop arrived {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Lunkin checked to Bach who made a bet. Sagstrom and Lunkin both made the call.

The turn brought the {j-Spades}. Lunkin checked and Bach bet out 200,000. Sagstrom made the call before Lunkin announced a raise making it 400,000. Every pot is just huge at this point. Bach and Sagstrom both made the call.

The {7-Hearts} hit the river and Lunkin checked to Bach who fired a bet. Sagstrom called as did Lunkin.

Bach revealed {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for a pair of aces with the second-nut low, but Lunkin could better for half with {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for the nut low, as Sagstrom gets caught in the middle.

Nut-No? Oh Yes!

Hold'em

Erik Sagstrom raised pre-flop and John Hanson called. Hanson check-raised Sagstrom on the {K-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {6-Spades} flop and Sagstrom called. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Hanson fired again. Sagstrom called and they went to the river, which fell the {7-Hearts}. Both players checked.

Hanson turned over {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, or as tournament director Robbie Thompson calls it "Nut-No," and won the pot.
