A-5 Triple Draw

Vladimir Peck and Venkata Tayi traded limped pots before Tayi won a few pots in a row without any additional bets invested.

As the game type changed, Peck limped in and Tayi checked his option. Both discarded two and Tayi bet, Peck called. Both discarded one each on the final two draws and checked. Tayi announced a queen and Peck had that beat with the {10-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{a-} for a ten-six low.

Final Break of the Night

Level 30 : 200,000/400,000, 0 ante

The two players were asked if they want to bag right now or play one more level, since the heads-up stage was reached. They opted for the latter and will now take a 10-minute break. If by the end of the next level no winner has been determined, they will bag up for the night.

Badugi

Vladimir Peck established a small lead in the last few A-5 Triple Draw hands but Venkata Tayi struck back by winning the first Badugi hand with a {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{a-Spades} when they checked the first two draws and Peck check-called a bet after the final draw.

Tayi then limped in and Peck raised for Tayi to call. Peck patted and Tayi took two cards, then called Peck's bet. Tayi took another card on the second draw and folded when Peck bet once more. "I had a good one, a six," Peck said in table chat.

After the hand, both players were separated by a single big bet once more.
