Hall Learning on the Fly
Level 13
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
A-5 Triple Draw
WSOP bracelet winner Galen Hall admits he had never played A-5 or Badugi before this tournament, but that hasn't stopped him from climbing to the top of the leaderboard.
On his last hand, Hall, Lylan Do, Luis Velador, and Max Kruse went four-ways to the first draw. Hall took three, while his opponents all took two.
Everyone checked and took two on the second draw. Action checked to Kruse on the button who bet and only Hall called.
Both players took one and Hall led out. Kruse called but mucked when Hall showed 
to take the pot from the soccer star.
