Badeucey

Tomasz Gluszko raised under the gun, and Gus Hansen called in the cutoff. Renan Bruschi, who had chopped about seven all-ins in the previous orbits of stud hi-lo regular, three-bet all in, and Gluszko reraised over the top.

Hansen called, and each player drew two cards on the first draw. Gluszko then added chips to the side pot with a bet, and Hansen called. The trio all took one card this time, after which Gluszko bet and Hansen called.

Bruschi remained pat on the final draw, with Gluszko and Hansen still needing one card. Gluszko barreled again after the draw, and Hansen called to showdown.

Bruschi tabled 7♥6♦5♥4♦2♠ for a seven-low, and Bruschi showed 8♦6♠4♥3♣2♥ for an eight-low and an eight-badugi. Hansen could not beat either hand and mucked his cards, and the chips were awarded accordingly.
