Ko Goto
Ko Goto

A-5 Triple Draw

Action was picked up after the first draw, with Ko Goto all in against Eli Elezra.

After the first draw the dealer mistakenly dealt Elezra first, and one of the two cards got mixed into his original without looking at it. After some debate between the table, the floor went with the suggestion made by Allen Kessler. Elezra told the floor his three original cards, the floor confirmed them and then gave the two cards dealt to Elezra to Goto.

After Elezra got a new two cards, both players drew one. On the final draw, Goto stood pat and Elezra drew one.

Ko Goto: Ax3x4x7x9x All in
Eli Elezra: 2x4x5x6x

Goto had a nine-seven, but Elezra drew an Ax on the final draw to make a six-five to take the pot and knock out Goto.

Level 23 : Limits 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Badugi

Action picked up after the first draw in a hand between Patrick Stacey from the big blind and Jordan Siegel from the cutoff. Stacey check-raised a bet from Siegel, who called.

Both stood pat on the second draw but Stacey elected to check. Siegel bet again before Stacey put out another check-raise, which Siegel called after a minute's tank and some inventory.
