Katz Doubles Up, Still in Critical Condition
Badacy
Max Hoffman raised from the hijack and was called by Jordan Siegel in the cutoff. Cary Katz then flicked in his final few chips on the button for less than a call, and Jon Shoreman defended his big blind.
On the first draw, Shoreman drew one, Hoffman drew two, Siegel drew one, and Katz drew two.
The side pot action checked to Siegel, who fired a bet and received calls from Shoreman and Hoffman.
On the second draw, Shoreman drew one and Hoffman drew two while Siegel and Katz stood pat, followed by another bet from Siegel and two check-calls.
On the final draw, Shoreman and Hoffman each took one card before Siegel and Katz remained pat. The action was checked to Siegel once more, whose bet made Shoreman and Hoffman lay their hands down, awarding Siegel the sizable side pot.
At showdown, Siegel took the low part of the main pot with his 6♥5♣3♠2♦A♦, while Katz received the badugi part with his 6♣5♥4♥3♦A♠.
