Dylan Weisman raised in the cutoff, Craig Chait called on the button, and David Baker defended his big blind. Each player drew two cards, checked, and drew two cards again on the second draw.

"Can we just chop it now? Is that allowed?" David Baker asked as the new cards were pitched to the players.

"Well, if we can't chop, I'll try to take it home," he then said as he received a negative answer from the dealer. He tossed in betting chips, receiving calls from both opponents.

The trio then drew one card each, after which Baker bet again. Weisman called before Chait folded.

Baker tabled 8♥7♣4♥3♠2♦ for an eight-low with a seven-badugi. Weisman's 9♥7♠6♥5♦2♣ was bested on both ends, and he tossed his chips towards Baker's stack.

During the hand, Kane Kalas was eliminated at another table.
