Kessler Over Bach

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Geoff Paul

Level 1

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Allen Kessler raised from middle position, with David Bach calling from the button.

The flop came 4♠3♣K♣, with Kessler betting and Bach making the call.

The turn brought the 9♥, which was Bach calling another bet from Kessler.

Both players checked the K♦ river. Kessler showed A♦Q♥3♥2♦ for kings and twos and an uncompleted wheel, but it was enough to scoop the pot as Bach's A♥2♠8♣2♥ could find no low.

Limit Hold'em

David Bach raised on the button and was three-bet by Greg Mascio from the small blind. Esther Taylor called cold in the big blind and Bach called as well.

Mascio bet on the 10♣4♣7♠ flop and Taylor raised. Bach made it three bets to go and both Mascio and Taylor called.

Action checked to Bach on the 9♦ turn and he bet. Both Mascio and Taylor called.

Mascio led out for a bet on the 8♠ river, which got a fold from Taylor and a reluctant call from Bach. Mascio tabled K♣J♣ for a straight and Bach mucked — awarding the pot to Mascio.
