Badeucey

Prior to the second draw, Eric Kurtzman checked and Nathan Gamble bet, Anatolii Zyrin raised and Kurtzman folded. Gamble made it three bets and then called when Zyrin four-bet. Both patted and Zyrin three-bet, which Gamble called. They patted again and this time, Zyrin's bet was only called by Gamble.

Zyrin rolled over the {7-Diamonds}/{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a number one and Five-Dugi to earn the entire pot, Gamble mucked the {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} face-up.
