Dylan Smith raised under the gun and Brandon Cantu called in the cutoff.
Both players drew two and Smith bet. Cantu called and took two more, while Smith stood pat and bet. Cantu called.
Smith again patted the last draw, while Cantu took one. Smith slowed down and checked. "Some good news," Cantu said, peeling his last card before putting out a bet. Smith quickly called.
Cantu showed 7♠6♥5♦3♦A♣ for a 7-6 and Badugi, while Smith had 7♣5♥3♠2♣A♥. "You don't have a Badugi? I thought you had a better seven both ways. The cards run together at this hour on Day 3 of the tournament," Cantu said as they chopped the pot.
