Bach Plays His Final Tune
In early position, David Bach raised to 180,000, and Ryan Lenaghan three-bet to 330,000. When the action passed around to John Hewitt, he moved all in for 1.94 million on a cold four-bet. Bach thought it over for a while before calling to put himself all in, and Lenaghan ducked out of the middle to let the Gunslinger go heads-up for his tournament life.
Showdown
Bach:
Hewitt:
It was a flip, but the two red ladies would betray Bach straight away. The flop all but ended it right there, and the turn officially did it. The on the river was meaningless, and Bach -- just barely covered -- has been sent to the rail. On his way out, the former $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. champion was paid his due respect over the speaker system, departing the Amazon Room to a warm ovation.
