In a battle of blinds, James Woods and Jeff Lisandro went to the first draw where Woods drew one and Lisandro two. Woods bet and Lisandro called.

Owen Wins Without Showing
Level 2
: 200/400, 0 ante
Badugi
British pro Adam Owen is fresh off a huge win for a seven-figure payday in Europe, in No-Limit Hold'em. While he's an accomplished player in the most popular poker variant, Owen is mostly acknowledged for his mixed games skillset.
He has a goose egg in the "bracelets won" cell, but it's a general opinion that it's only a matter of time until Owen binks his first.
Owen was in position, playing a heads-up pot with a player in the big blind. They both drew two on the first draw where the big blind led out. Owen called and drew two while his rival discarded one.
Owen then raised on the penultimate betting round, earning a bet-call. Both players stood pat and Owen fired for one last time, convincing his opponent to fold.

"Do You Have the Cards Marked?"
Level 2
: 200/400, 0 ante
2-7 Triple Draw
Frank Kassela and John Racener got to the end and Racener check-called a bet from Kassela.
"I have an eight-high straight," Kassela said with a laugh.
Racener rolled over 
for a pair. At first, Kassela seemed to think Racener had mucked face up.
"He didn't call me, did he?" Kassela asked as the pot got pushed the other way. "That's a strong call. Do you have the cards marked? I feel like I have an RFID under my spot. What the hell just happened?"
