Riesenberg Over Julia
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Badugi
Nicholas Julia opened cutoff — effectively button since that seat was dead — and Jason Riesenberg three-bet in the small blind. Julia called but was behind in the draw, two against one. Riesenberg kept the lead and patted the next two rounds, with Julia drawing one.
They both checked the end and Riesenberg showed 
to win.
"I thought about breaking and getting full value from my three-card," he said.
"I had a better three-card," Julia said.
"Well, then I'm glad I didn't break," Riesenberg said with a laugh.
