Ace Brings It In

Incredibly, John Hansen showed the {A-Diamonds} and had to bring in as David Bach completed with the {A-Spades}. The illusion of an interesting hand was crushed when Hansen raised and Bach gave it up.

OMG a Showdown

Stud

David Bach (X)(X) {6-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {10-Hearts} (X)
John Hanson (X)(X) {9-Clubs} {3-Spades} {2-Spades} {J-Hearts} (X)

David Bach had the bring-in, John Hanson completed and Bach called. Both players checked on fourth street. On fifth Bach led out, Hanson raised and Bach called. Bach led again on sixth street, Hanson raised, Bach reraised and Hanson called. Bach bet the river and Hanson called.

Bach showed {10-Spades} {2-Hearts} {K-Clubs} for trip tens, Hanson mucked, and Bach took it down.

The following chip counts are proudly brought to you by the man who decided that the 90k/180k level was a good idea at 5 a.m.

David Bach - 7,300,000
John Hanson - 6,900,000

Something Different

Stud

Bach: (X-X) {2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Hanson: (X-X) {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

David Bach was the bring in and John Hanson completed. Bach raised and Hanson called.

Fourth and fifth streets were checked by both players before Hanson fired on sixth to take it down.

At Least it Went to Fourth Street

After ten hands that didn't get past third street, hey, here's one that got to fourth!

Hanson (X)(X) {4-Clubs} {5-Spades}
Bach (X)(X) {8-Spades} {6-Spades}

Hanson brought it in, Bach raised and Hanson called. Bach checked fourth street, Hanson bet, and Bach folded.

Omaha = Chips for Bach

Omaha-8

David Bach raised the button and John Hanson made the call in the big blind.

The flop was {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and Hanson checked to Bach, who fired a bet. Hanson made the call.

The {5-Clubs} hit the turn and again Hanson checked over to Bach, who bet out with Hanson calling.

The river brought the {9-Spades} and Hanson check-called for the third time in the hand, but couldn't better the {A-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for nut flush and low, as Bach scooped another Omaha pot.
