Badugi
Schuyler Thornton raised from the button and George Alexander defended from the big blind. Both players drew two and checked. Alexander then drew one while Thornton drew two.
After the second draw Alexander bet and Thornton called, drawing two more while Alexander stood pat again. Alexander then bet and Thornton raised, sending Alexander deep into the tank.
After a few minutes, Benny Glaser called the clock on Alexander, who finally called with one second remaining. Thornton announced he had a ten but Alexander showed a nine-badugi with 9♣6♥4♦3♠ to win the hand.
