Well, That Was Stud...

Stud

The Stud round has come and gone without even a whimper. Every pot was fold, complete-fold or complete-raise-fold without fourth street being seen.

Maybe Stud-8 will prod the players into a little action...then again...

Bach Gets a Few Back

Razz

David Bach (X)(X){K-?} {5-?} {A-?}
John Hanson (X)(X) {10-?} {Q-?} {5-?}

Bach brought it in, Hanson completed and Bach called. Hanson checked fourth street over to Bach, who bet out. Hanson made the call. Hanson checked again on fifth street and Bach bet out. Hanson folded and Bach took it down.

Hanson Gaining Control

Razz

Hanson: (X-X) {5-?}{A-?}{4-?}
Bach: (X-X) {3-?}{10-?}{7-?}

John Hanson was the bring in and David Bach completed. Hanson then announced a raise and Bach made the call.

On fourth street, Hanson led the betting with Bach making the call. Hanson caught good again on fifth street and fired another bet as Bach gave it up.

It's Oh So Quiet

Unlike last year's beer-fueled antics from Scotty Nguyen that drew a full house of spectators even at 3 a.m., the stands are essentially empty right now, with fewer than a dozen people outside of the media watching the action. The pros have left, Gus Hansen has departed, and Sagstrom's singing Scandi friends have presumably headed off into the night with him to celebrate his finish.

Scoopage for Hanson

Omaha-8

On the final hand of Omaha, David Bach raised from the button and John Hanson called in the big blind.

The flop landed {2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Hanson checked to Bach who fired a bet, before Hanson announced a raise. Bach made the call.

The turn card was the {8-Diamonds} and Hanson led out with a bet of 300,000. Bach made the call.

The river landed the {Q-Diamonds} and Hanson fired again with Bach looking him up.

Hanson tabled {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for two pair and low to scoop as Bach revealed {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

A Scoop? Oh Wait, No...

Omaha-8

John Hanson raised and David Bach called.

Bach check-raised the {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} {3-Hearts} flop and Hanson called. The turn was the{7-Clubs} and Bach led out. Now it was Hanson's turn to raise, and Bach made the call. The river was the {10-Spades} and Bach check-called Hanson's bet.

Hanson showed {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} for the nut low and a ten-high straight while Bach flopped eights full of threes for high with {K-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. They split the pot.

They're Neck and Neck!

As we start heads-up play our two competitors are locked up, dead even in chips with around 7.1 million each!

The players are back and the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy is on the line!

It's David Bach versus John Hanson!

Erik Sagstrom Eliminated in 3rd Place ($522,394)

Erik Sagstrom - 3rd Place
Erik Sagstrom - 3rd Place
Omaha-8

John Hanson raised the button and David Bach reraised and made it three bets to go from the small blind. Erik Sagstrom made the call from the big blind, as did Hanson and all three players saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

Play checked to Hanson, who fired a bet. Bach made the call before Sagstrom moved all in for an additional 75,000. Hanson then announced a reraise to a total of 225,000. Bach made the call as a side pot developed.

The turn card was the {J-Spades} and Bach checked to Hanson, who fired once again into the side pot. Bach made the call.

The river brought the {K-Spades} and both checked it down.

Hanson tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}-X-X for the best hand as both opponents mucked their cards. Hanson scooped and Sagstrom was sent to the rail in 3rd place for a handsome pay day of $522,394.
