David Bach Cripples Erik Sagstrom

Omaha-8

Erik Sagstrom limped in on the button and David Bach checked his option from the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. Bach checked, Sagstrom bet and Bach called. Both players checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. Bach led out on the river, which fell the {5-Spades} and Sagstrom gave up his hand.

Bach has now taken down every Omaha pot this round to take his stack up to 8,625,000. Sagstrom is down to only 525,000.

Bach Surging Through Omaha

Omaha-8

David Bach raised the button and Erik Sagstrom made the call in the small blind.

The flop came down {3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Sagstrom checked, Bach bet and Sagstrom called.

The turn landed the {Q-Spades} and Sagstrom checked to Bach once more who fired a bet. Sagstrom made the call.

The river was the {9-Clubs} and both checked it down. Sagstrom held {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}-X-X but Bach tabled {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for the best hand to take it down.

Some Small Confusion

There appears to be some confusion over the size of the small blind, which is currently incorrectly displayed on the tournament clock as 80,000. According to the structure sheet it should be 75,000.

We believe the first hand or two was played at 80,000 with John Hanson overheard complaining about losing 5,000 of his 5.5 million chips due to the error.
