Bach Scoops One

David Bach, winner or the 2009 $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship, took a flop of {2-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} against two opponents. The action checked to Bach, who tossed out a bet, and the player first to act check-raised. Only Bach called.

The turn was the {j-Spades}, and Bach's opponent check-raised again. Bach, again called.

The {k-Spades} completed the board, and Bach's opponent checked a third time. Bach fired another bullet, and his opponent just called.

Bach turned over {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for Broadway, and his opponent stood up, let out a big sigh, and mucked his hand.

Che Cosa Fai??

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We recently heard Michele Limongi having a dispute with a dealer across the room. Limongi, who finished third in the $2,500 8-game event last year and has six career WSOP cashes, was upset because the entire table, including the dealer, thought he checked dark on a {10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop. Three players checked behind him, but before the dealer could burn and turn a card, Limongi tried to bet. The players protested, and a floor person was beckoned.

Since the majority of the players at the table heard Limongi say "I check dark," and the other players had already acted, the dealer was to deal the turn card. It was the {10-Diamonds}, and Limongi immediately bet. All the other players folded.

"It's your house," Limongi said after the hand. "I guess I'm just a foreigner."

An All-American Meal

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

If you're here in Vegas for the World Series of Poker, or if you follow a handful of professional poker players on Twitter, then you've probably heard of All American Dave. Dave Swanson is a a fitness coach, dietary guru, and the creator of the All American Dave Meal Plan, which dozens of grinders at the WSOP subscribe to. Last year, All American Dave's clients shipped a combined seven bracelets - Brian Rast was responsible for two of them - and this year he's expanded his service so that anyone can purchase meals and have them delivered to them at the Rio.

At least three players here in the Brasilia Room collected their boxed lunches from All American Dave's delivery team. Allen Bari and Nick Binger scarfed down a lime chili tilapia dish with asparagus, onions, brown rice, and bell peppers, while Frankenberger is unsure of what was in his box.

"I believe it was chicken," Frankenberger told us, smiling.

Bari was finished with his lunch in what seemed like less than three hands.

"It was really good," he told us. "Spicy, but good."

Saturday's menu looks delectable as well - you have a choice of lemon pepper chicken, tomato basil chicken, an All American burger, or an old bay tilapia dish.

Stephen "stevie444" Chidwick and three opponents saw a flop of {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Chidwick led out, and two players called. All three players checked after the {7-Clubs} turned, but when the {10-Hearts} completed the board, Chidwick fired again.

Deeb Fills Up

Shaun Deeb, who won a mind-blowing four Spring Championship of Online Poker watches last month, took a flop of {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} against two other opponents. The action checked to Deeb, who fired a bet, and his two opponents called.

The turn was the {3-Spades}, and both players checked again. Deeb tossed out another bet, but this time, only one player called.

Th3 {3-Clubs} completed the board, and Deeb's opponent led out for the first time. Deeb promptly raised, and his opponent just called. Deeb rolled over {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for tens full, and his opponent mucked.
