Bach is Huge

We found this hand on the flop, with one player already all in, and David Bach involved in a side pot with another player. The flop was showing {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and the turn card fell as we joined the action, {8-Clubs}.

David Bach checked over to his opponent, who bet 10,000. Bach came back with a check-raise to 25,000, which the other player called. The river brought the {K-Spades}, and Bach fired out a covering bet of 18,000. His opponent made the all-in call, and the players turned their hands up. The all-in player turned over a flush with the {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}, but was destroyed by Bach's bigger flush, {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}.

After this action, two players have been eliminated, and David Bach appears to be our new Day 1b chip leader. He currently stands right around 100,000. It is difficult to count his oddly-stacked chips, but if that is correct, he is our first player to crack that milestone today.
