"Literal Chip and a Chair" for Bach

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

David Bach opened for a raise in the cutoff, and James Obst made it 7,000 on the button. Bach came back with a repot, and they got it all in. Each player drew one, and Bach drew a second and third time while Obst stayed pat after his first card. Obst rolled over {8-}{7-}{5-}{3-}{2-}, and Bach showed {2-}{3-}{4-}{5-}.

"Eight or a seven," he said, sweating out his final card. It was a {9-} though.

Stacks were cut down, and Obst had 46,600. Bach had 100 more than that.

"A literal chip and a chair," Bach said with a laugh. Still, he appears to have hung on for a few minutes so far.
