Badugi

Lee Goldman has just hit the rail during a hand of Badugi. It started with Goldman raising it up from the hijack. Mike Wattel then three-bet from the cutoff. Goldman called and then drew one, while Wattel stood pat.

Goldman checked here and Wattel bet. Goldman called and only had one a small amount remaining. On the next draw, Goldman took one again and Wattel stood pat again. Goldman checked and Wattel bet. Goldman then called all in for 10,200. Here is how the cards looked at this point, with Goldman still drawing one, while Wattel had a ten-eight four-card badugi.

Wattel:

Goldman:

Goldman peeled his card and said, "it's a diamond!" but then he turned over the {2-Diamonds} , with his pair sending his three-card badugi into the muck. With that, we are down to 16.
