A-5 Triple Draw

Matthew Smith opened from the hijack and Yuebin Guo defended from the big blind. Both players drew two.

Guo checked after the first draw and Smith bet. Guo raised to two bets and Smith called off for his last 40,000 to put himself all in.

For the last two draws Guo drew two both times while Smith drew one both times.

Matthew Smith: 7x5x3xAx All in
Yuebin Guo: 6x5x3x

Smith caught a 6x on the final draw giving him a seven-low. Guo drew 6x7x and was no good with a pair at showdown resulting in a full double up for Smith.

Badugi

Patrick Moulder raised from the small blind and Anthony Hu called in the big blind. Moulder drew two cards and check-called Hu's bet after the latter had drawn one.

Each player took one card on the second draw, after which Moulder led out. The big bet was worth nearly the entirety of Hu's remaining chips. Hu took a few more looks at his cards before tossing them away and awarding the pot to Moulder.

Badugi

Anthony Hu committed his last 180,000 from the button and was called by Ian Chan who had him covered in the big blind.

Chan drew three, then one, then one again. Hu drew one for each draw.

Anthony Hu: 6♣5♥4♠ All in
Ian Chan: A♦5♠3♥

Chan had the better three-card hand but did not improve when he drew the 10♠ for the final draw, meaning Hu needed to catch any diamond to preserve his tournament life. He found no help when he picked up the 9♥ for his final draw and became the first casualty of the final table.
