Badugi

Dylan Linde raised under-the-gun and was three-bet by Scott Seiver in the cutoff. The player in the big blind cold-called and Linde called as well.

The big blind and Linde each drew one, while Seiver stood pat. Action checked to Seiver, who bet. Both players called.

The same exact drawing and betting action occurred on the second draw.

The big blind and Linde each drew one again on the final draw and Seiver stood pat. Linde led out for a bet and only Seiver called.

"You win," Linde said.

Seiver tabled what appeared to be a jack-dugi while Linde had paired one of his suits — awarding the pot to Seiver
