David Bach won his second World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet of the 2017 series when he defeated Eric Rodawig headsup, taking down Event 30, the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship and pocketing $383,208.
Bach became the first double-bracelet winner of the series, outplaying an elite field of 150 players and a tough final table that included Jason Mercierand Daniel Negreanu.
Bach’s first win of the series, and his second WSOP career bracelet, earned him $119,399 and the $1,500 Dealers Choice title (see previous InfoPowa reports).
“The first win, obviously, is great, but it wasn’t that much money,” said Bach. “It was $119,000. It was great. It sounds like a ton of money, but I’m spending more than that in buy-ins over the summer. This is a big enough win that I’m going to make money for the summer no matter what.”

1 David Bach – $383,208
2 Eric Rodawig – $236,841
3 Don Zewin – $163,557
