Badugi

Jameson Painter:
Yuebin Guo:

Painter peeled a club but, unfortunately for him, it was a nine so he knew that Guo's final card didn't matter. It was the to make things official and Guo scooped the pot with a five-high three-card badugi.

Riesenberg Over Julia

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.

Leah Isn't Trolling Baxter

Jan_Kores

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

A-5 Triple Draw

Billy Baxter raised on the button and Mike Leah called in the small blind. Leah took two, Baxter one and Leah check-called.

Leah check-called again after the second draw where they both drew one.

Leah patted and Baxter took well over a minute before making his turn. He eventually stood pat as well.

The last round was checked and Baxter said: "It's really close, I got a nine." But that was no good as Leah rolled over an eight-perfect.

In the meantime, Shaun Deeb came over from the next table. He is playing the $365 online bracelet event and so is Leah who has a laptop sitting on the empty chair to his left.

"Are you this, Mike? I've got a player called 'Baxter' on my table." But Leah's answer was negative.

"I thought it was you, trolling Billy that he's next to you."

No trolling over here and the play carries on.
