Badacey

In a three-bet pot to the first draw, Chad Eveslage drew one card from the big blind, and Ryan Hoenig needed two under the gun. Eveslage then bet, and Hoenig called.

The players drew the same number of cards as on the first draw, after which Eveslage bet and Hoenig called all in for 13,000.

The final draw went one, two, and the players showed down.

Ryan Hoenig; 6♠3♣2♦ All in
Chad Eveslage: 4♥3♦2♠A♣

Eveslage already had the nut badugi, and he drew an A♦ to make a pair of aces for the low. Hoenig drew 8♥8♦ to make a higher pair, however, sending him to an unfortunate exit in the penultimate level of Day 2.
