Badugi
Action was picked up on the second betting round with a sizable pot brewing between Hooman Nikzad in the small blind, Michael Lin in the hijack, and Jon Shoreman on the button.
Everyone checked to Shoreman, who moved all in from the button, which saw both Nikzad and Lin call.
Lin and Nikzad both drew one while Shoreman stood pat, and the action checked through.
Jon Shoreman: Q♣9♥2♦A♠ 
Hooman Nikzad: 3♦2♥A♣ K♥
Michael Lin: 6♦3♥A♦ 6♥
Shoreman's queen badugi was good for the pot, and he tripled up at the expense of his opponents.
