A-5 Triple Draw
Action was picked up on the first betting round in a pot between Mengqi Chen in the small blind, Heather Alcorn in the big blind, and Gina Hecht on the button.
Alcorn bet after Chen checked to her and everyone called.
On the second draw, Chen and Alcorn drew one while Hecht drew two. Action checked around to Hecht who bet and Chen raised which earned calls from both Alcorn and Chen.
The final draw saw Chen stand pat, while Alcorn and Hecht both drew one. Chen checked to Alcorn who checked to Hecht who bet and only Chen called.
"Wheel," said Hecht as she tabled 5x4x3x2xAx and she was awarded the pot.

Badugi
Action was picked up on the first betting round of Badugi. Lauren Bunch in the small blind checked over to Kyle Arora in the big blind who bet and she called.
Bunch drew one and Arora stood pat which saw Bunch check-call a second bet from Arora.
On the third draw, Bunch drew one while Arora stood pat and both players checked.
Arora turned over K♣Q♥4♦3♠ for a king badugi, while Bunch only mustered 7♥4♠3♦/J♠ for a three card seven.
"I drew a spade everytime," Bunch said as Arora raked in the pot. "They were all good cards but they were all spades."

No player has commanded more attention at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) than Martin Kabrhel, partly for his strong performance, but mostly for his antics.
The clock has been called on the Czech high roller more often this summer than the Paris Hotel parking garage attendant, and he's been yapping away so much at the poker tables that even Daniel Negreanu had enough during a recent final table appearance.
Regardless of my or your take on Kabrhel's behavior, he has people talking about poker. He's bringing attention to the 2025 WSOP, and many seem to be enjoying the Kabrhel video clips shared on social media.

Badugi
Jerome Zerbib raised from the hijack and Daniel Blum raised on the button which saw Ashish Gupta call in the big blind and Zerbib called as well.
Gupta and Zerbib drew one while Blum stood pat and action checked around to Blum who bet and got two callers.
Everyone drew identically on the second draw and Blum bet once the action got back to him which saw Gupta call and Zerbib raise. Blum folded after some thought and Gupta called.
On the final draw, Gupta drew one and Zerbib stood pat and bet after Gupta checked to him. Gupta folded, ceding the pot over to Zerbib just before he moved tables.
