Big Hands Only Good For Half

Stud-8

Hanson: (X-X) {5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} (X)
Lunkin: (X-X) {8-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Bach: (X-X) {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} (X)

Ville Wahlbeck was the bring in with the {2-Clubs} with John Hanson, Huck Seed and Vitaly Lunkin all making the call, before David Bach completed. Hanson and Lunkin made the call as the others stepped aside.

David Bach continued with the aggression, firing bets on all streets. Lunkin folded on fourth, as Hanson went with Bach to showdown.

On the river Bach's bet was met with a raise from Hanson. Bach let off a groan of dispair before making a crying call.

Hanson: {5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} ({7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs})
Bach: {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} ({A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Spades})

Both tabled big Stud-8 hands. Hanson showed a nine-high straight and 7-6-5-3-A low, and Bach revealed aces up with a 7-6-4-3-A low.

Hanson takes the high and Bach gets half for the low. Chop it up boys!
