The hand started with Pesek on the button, who completed the bet. David Bach then announced "Pot," making it a total of 24,000 more to call. Pesek cut the required amount of chips from his stack, slid them into the middle and made the call.
The flop came
and Bach, first to act, led out with a pot-sized bet of 72,000. Pesek took one last look at his cards before raising the pot. Pesek's bet sent Bach into the tank and he counted and recounted his chips before eventually saying, "I call."At the showdown, Bach tabled
for a gut-shot straight draw and a heap of overcards. Pesek showed 
for top two pair.After the cards were tabled, Pesek stood up out of his seat to sweat the last two cards, but the
that fell on the turn made him sit right back down, as it gave Bach the nut straight and left Pesek drawing to four outs for a full boat. Amazingly, the
popped off on the river giving Pesek sixes full of sevens to outdraw Bach's straight and earned Pesek the title.
Michael Pesek has the chip lead with 388,000 chips with David Bach now down to 182,000.

and Bach checks it over to Pesek who makes a 60,000 chip bet. This time Bach tanks before eventually folding his hand.This hand went for close to five minutes without even getting to showdown!

Pesek will have 287,000 chips to start the match, just 4,000 more than Bach, who will start with 283,000.
