Badugi
Gina Hecht and Stephen O'Dwyer limped in before Dan Zack raised in the cutoff. Bruce Walters reraised in the small blind and only Zack called.
"This hand is 100 percent wrong. The button moved the wrong way," Zack noticed, pointing out that the button went from Walters in Seat 2 to Ken Deng in Seat 1. With significant action already taking place, the hand progressed as Walters stood pat and Zack took one. Walters then bet and Zack called.
Walters patted again and bet on the second draw, and Zack called after drawing one. Zack took one more and Walters patted before betting his last chips.
Walters went to turn over his hand but Zack informed him he hadn't acted yet. Zack eventually tossed his cards away and Walters took the pot, saying he had a 10-Badugi.
The floor then ruled that the button would go back on Walters, much to Matthew Schreiber's disagreement, as he had to pay the blinds three hands in a row. "This is a complete disaster," Schreiber said.
