Soulier Picks One Up

Level 1

2-7 Triple Draw

David Bach won this event (then called the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship) in 2009, banking $1,276,806 and the David "Chip" Reese Memorial Trophy for his efforts. Bach is in the field today, but is off to a slow start after losing a hand to Fabrice Soulier.

Bach raised from the cutoff, and Fabrice Soulier called with the button. Bach drew one, Soulier drew two, and Bach led out. Soulier called.

Both players drew one on the second draw, and again Soulier called a bet from Bach.

Both players stood pat on the third draw, and Bach then checked for the first time. Soulier bet, and Bach folded.
