Jerry Wong raised before Galen Hall put in a three-bet. Bariscan Betil called, as did Wong.
All three players drew one and Hall bet. Both Betil and Wong called and drew one again.
Hall checked this time, allowing Betil to open the betting. Wong raised, Hall folded, and Betil called. Both players patted on the third draw and Betil called a bet.
"Nuts," Wong said, showing 
. "Nuts is always good."
The next hand, Wong called a raise in the big blind from small blind Max Kruse. He took two and Kruse took one, then called when Kruse went all in for his last 18,000.
On the third draw, Wong took one and hit a 6-5-4-A Badugi. The German soccer star missed his 3-2-A draw and hit the rail.
