Level 8

Badeucey

Doug Lorgeree raised on the button before Phil Ivey three-bet in the big blind. Ivey then drew one card while Lorgeree drew three. Ivey made a bet and was called, after which he drew one card again.

Lorgeree drew two cards this time, and another bet and call followed. Ivey stood pat at the final draw while his opponent still opted for one fresh card.

Ivey slowed down and checked, after which Lorgeree bet out. Ivey quickly called, but got no part of the pot when Lorgeree tabled 8♥7♠6♥5♣3♦ for an eight-low and three-badugi.
