Bach Slipping

David Bach, who won this event in 2009, just lost a decent pot to Fabrice Soulier that caused him to slip back to 115,000 in chips. Here's what happened.

Stud

David Bach: (X)(X) / {J-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs} / (X)
Fabrice Soulier: (X)(X) / {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{A-Diamonds} / (X)

Picking up the action on fourth street, Bach checked and Soulier bet. Bach made the call. On fifth, Soulier bet first when he paired his tens. Bach made the call. On sixth and seventh, Soulier bet and Bach called both times.

Soulier showed {9-}{9-}{6-} for tens and nines and Bach mucked his hand.
