Bach Sits Down With a Hat-Trick in Sight
Hats were a thing in poker decades ago and one can't see many players wearing this type of fashion accessory anymore. One of the last cowboys who are yet to change their hats for caps, however, is David Bach.
He's wearing one today, just like on any given day in the office. But there's one more thing that catches one's eye when looking at Bach in today's field. It's tied to his left forearm and it's golden. We're not certain which of his three bracelets Bach chose to sport today, but it's almost guaranteed it's not the one he earned back in 2009.
Bach has already added two more pieces to his jewelry box at the 2017 World Series of Poker, and he doesn't seem to be done yet. While last year brought several double champions, no one managed to win three events. Bach has a decent chance with over 30 bracelets still up for grabs.
One of them will be dedicated to the $1,500 Stud Hi-Lo winner, and Bach took his chances. He's sitting right to Andy Black and, while he's now down to 5,600, it's still too early to leave him among scratches.
Bach is aiming for a hat-trick, and that leads us back to the story about hats. Throwing hats in a celebration of a three-goal game is a hockey habit. But it may as well transition into poker, should Bach win his third this year. He could serve himself during the celebrations. His hat is ready.
