Badugi

Action was picked up in a three-way pot between three players with Ravee Sundara in the small blind, Matthew Valeo in the big blind, and Robert Ruhl in the hijack.

Everyone drew one on the first draw and Sundara checked over to Valeo who bet and everyone called.

On the second draw, everyone drew one again and Sundara checked over to Valeo who bet and Ruhl raised. Sundara called all in and Valeo called as well.

Before the final draw, Ruhl turned over 7♦5♠ before realizing there was one more draw and he quickly turned it back over.

"I showed a bluff," a frustrated Ruhl joked as Sundara and Valeo drew one and he stood pat. Action checked to Ruhl and he checked saying "I guess I can't bet it anymore."

Ravee Sundara: 2♦A♠/6♠4♦ All in
Matthew Valeo: 7♥5♣A♥/A♣
Robert Ruhl: 7♦5♠3♥2♣

Sundara had misread his hand and drew thinking he had a six-draw when he only had a two card and Ruhl's seven was good for the pot.
