Claassen Gets Some Back
Badugi
In a battle of the blinds, Mike Gorodinsky raised and Christopher Claassen called. Gorodinsky patted all the way while Claassen took one new card in each round. As Gorodinsky also bet all the way, the calls of Claassen mirrored.
Claassen declared a ten and Gorodinsky replied "ten is good" without showing his cards, which he then mucked upon being presented with the 
by Claassen.
Claassen then lost some chips when he raised the button and Brian Rast defended the big blind. They took two each and checked, Rast then patted and Claassen took two. Rast bet and Claassen folded.
Up next, the new game was declared by Claassen and he selected Limit Hold'em. In the first hand, Claassen chopped with Rast when the board ran out a seven-high straight.
