WSOP 2009 Event 49 H.O.R.S.E. 50k buyin is OVER!

We have a WINNER folks!!! David Bach has finally won Event 49 - $50,000 World Championship H.O.R.S.E.!!! Play has JUST ended at the epic final table. The final table action had played for more than 20 HOURS! 7 hours of that was Heads-Up between David Bach and John Hanson. 492 hands were played at the final table, which surpasses all previous records for final table battles, including last year's WSOPE which went for 484 hands. Both of these gentlemen are to be commended if for nothing other than their staying power. Bach takes home $1,276,802 for the effort. Hanson, comes in second but does take home $789,199. Bach of course takes the WSOP gold bracelet and the Chip Reese Memorial Tournament Trophy. Congratulations indeed!

Also, lest you forget. change100 and TassieDevil of the PokerNews.com crew are to be commended for the continued commentary of the 20+ hour battle in this event. You have our sincere admiration, thanks, and maybe even a little... pity!

Go get some sleep...

Regards,
