Bach was well in the lead with 7-6-4-A to Hanson's J-9-8-5. Bach paired on fifth street, while Hanson made a jack low, then caught a queen on sixth when Hanson hit a five. Hanson rivered a deuce and Bach was looking for any card below a jack that didn't pair his board to finally seal this thing up...and he got the on the river. Bach made a 9-7-6-4-A low, besting Hanson's 9-8-6-5-2 to capture the 2009 $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. title and send Hanson home as the runner-up.
