Bach Wins With River Bet

Omaha-8

Erik Sagstrom made a button raise and David Bach called from the big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}. Bach check-called a bet from Sagstrom. Both players checked the {4-Clubs} on the turn. The river fell the {5-Hearts} and Bach led out. Sagstrom gave it up and Bach won the pot.

Some Small Confusion

There appears to be some confusion over the size of the small blind, which is currently incorrectly displayed on the tournament clock as 80,000. According to the structure sheet it should be 75,000.

We believe the first hand or two was played at 80,000 with John Hanson overheard complaining about losing 5,000 of his 5.5 million chips due to the error.

Bach Surging Through Omaha

The flop came down {3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Sagstrom checked, Bach bet and Sagstrom called.

The turn landed the {Q-Spades} and Sagstrom checked to Bach once more who fired a bet. Sagstrom made the call.

The river was the {9-Clubs} and both checked it down. Sagstrom held {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}-X-X but Bach tabled {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for the best hand to take it down.

David Bach Cripples Erik Sagstrom

Bach has now taken down every Omaha pot this round to take his stack up to 8,625,000. Sagstrom is down to only 525,000.
