Bach Arrives a Little Late

After missing the first hand of play after the break, David Bach has rushed in to take his seat for the second hand.

It appears that John Hanson was not happy that Bach was allowed to sit and complained that the dealer had already released his last card before Bach sat. After some heated words with the TD, Hanson got his wish and Bach sat out one more uneventful Stud-8 hand.

Vitaly Lunkin Eliminated in 4th Place ($368,813)

Vitaly Lunkin - 4th Place
Vitaly Lunkin - 4th Place
Stud-8

Vitaly Lunkin (X)(X) {2-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} (X)
Erik Sagstrom (X)(X) {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} (X)

Vitaly Lunkin had the bring-in, Erik Sagstrom completed and Lunkin called. Sagstrom led out on fourth and fifth street, Lunkin calling in both spots. On sixth street, Lunkin made an open pair of eights and bet out, Sagstrom raised, Lunkin reraised all in and Sagstrom called.

Lunkin showed {5-Clubs} {8-Hearts} for trip eights and a draw to an 8-5 low, but Sagstrom turned over {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} for trip aces. Lunkin hit the {J-Diamonds} on the river, missing his low and failing to hit a full house to improve his hand. Sagstrom caught the {9-Clubs} and scooped the pot with his set, sending Lunkin to the rail in fourth place.

David Bach raised from the button, before Erik Sagstrom reraised from the small blind. John Hanson folded his big blind and Bach made the call.

The flop fell {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Sagstrom fired out a bet of 120,000 to take it down as Bach tossed his cards into the muck.


Next hand, Erik Sagstrom raised from the button and David Bach defended his big blind.

They took a flop of {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Bach checked to Sagstrom who fired a continuation bet to take down another pot.

Bach's Bluff Backfires

Hold'em

David Bach limped in from the small blind and Erik Sagstrom checked his option.

Bach led out on the {5-Spades} {3-Spades} {2-Hearts} flop and Sagstrom called. Bach fired again when the {3-Diamonds} hit the turn and Sagstrom called. The river was the {4-Diamonds}. Bach bet and Sagstrom called.

Bach had air with {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} and Sagstrom took it down with {K-Spades} {6-Spades} for the six-high straight.

Bach was left with only 670,000.

Bach Scoops Sagstrom

Omaha-8

Erik Sagstrom raised from the button and David Bach called in the big blind.

The flop landed {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Bach checked to Sagstrom who fired a bet. Bach made the call.

The turn was the {A-Hearts} and Bach checked to Sagstrom who again made a bet, this time for 240,000. Bach cut out his remaining chips, realising that this was a make or break decision, before tossing chips into the middle to make the call.

The {3-Clubs} hit the river and Bach now led at the pot with a bet with Sagstrom making the call.

Bach tabled {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{Q-Spades} for a flush and sixty-five low, which was good to scoop as Sagstrom tabled {2-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a pair of threes and eight-low.

Bach scoops the pot and recovers some much needed chips.

... And Sagstrom Quarters Bach

Omaha-8

David Bach opened for a raise, Erik Sagstrom three-bet and Bach called.

Bach checked the {8-Hearts} {8-Spades} {5-Clubs} flop over to Sagstrom, who bet. Bach made the call. The turn was the {7-Spades} and Bach check-called another bet. He did the same on the river, which fell the {3-Hearts}.

Sagstrom showed {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {3-Spades} {2-Hearts} for the nut low and two pair eights and threes. Bach had the same low with {A-Clubs} {2-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}. Sagstrom won the high and half the low, while Bach took the other half of the low pot.

Small One For Sagstrom

Omaha-8

Erik Sagstrom raised to 240,000 from the button and John Hanson made the call from the small blind. David Bach folded his big blind and they saw a heads-up flop of {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Both players checked and the {Q-Clubs} hit the turn. Once again both checked and the free card on the river was the {2-Hearts}. Hanson checked and Sagstrom took a stab with a bet of 240,000. Hanson thought for a few moments before releasing.
