Elezra Playing the Wrong Game Against Guagenti

Level 9

Badeucey

Eli Elezra bet from the small blind after the second draw and Nick Guagenti raised in the big blind. Elezra called, and both players stood pat.

Guagenti then bet. "I think I scoop," Elezra said as he called, turning over A7432.

"You're playing the wrong game," Guagenti told him as he turned over 98654 for a 9-8 and Badugi to scoop the pot.

After the hand was over, Elezra argued that his cards were mucked incorrectly and he should've been awarded half the pot with a better Badugi. He continued to passionately plead his case for several minutes, even exchanging a few heated words with Guagenti.
