Bach the Victim of a Classic Cooler

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

David Bach

After some back-and-forth between David Bach and William Gendron, Bach's stack of around 30,000 found its way into the middle, with Gendron looking to bust him.

David Bach: K♦K♣ All in
William Gendron: A♣A♥

It was poker's classic preflop cooler, with Bach on the wrong end of it and needing to spike a king to keep his Main Event hopes alive.

Gendron's aces held on the 10♥8♦4♦J♠2♠ runout, and Bach's stack was absorbed into Gendron's.
