Bach Breaks Both

[user339870]

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The player under the gun raised to 17,000, the next player to act folded, and three-time bracelet winner David Bach three-bet to 25,000. The hijack moved all in for what looked like 128,000, the original raiser called to put himself at risk, and Bach called with a covering stack.

David Bach:
Under the gun:
Hijack:

The hijack had the preflop advantage with his jacks, leaving both Bach and the under-the-gun player in need of help from the deck to win the pot. He extended his lead when he made a set on the flop, but the turn gave Bach Broadway, leaving both his opponents in bad shape. The river changed nothing, so Bach took the pot to stack them both.
