Eisman Gives Most of It to Monnette, Gets Some Back From Kassela
Level 23
: 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
Badugi
John Monnette bet after the first draw before Philip Eisman raised. Monnette called and took one, while Eisman stood pat.
Eisman bet again, but this time Monnette raised. Eisman called, then called again after the third draw.
Monnette showed him 
for a Badugi as Eisman was reduced to just 150,000.
A few hands later, Eisman would be all in against Frank Kassela after the second draw. Kassela stood pat, and Eisman got up off his seat while considering what to do.
"Flip a coin," tablemate Matthew Schreiber said.
He eventually discarded a 10 as Kassela showed a 9-7-6. Eisman caught a 7-5-4-3-2 to win the hand and double up.
"Good break," Kassela acknolwedged.
