Badugi
Ben Diebold was aiming to raise on the button and put in 85,000 in chips, which was certainly not enough to qualify for a raise and thus became a flat-call. Mike Gorodinsky checked in the big blind and drew three, Diebold drew one. Gorodinsky check-called a bet and both took one each to check. Gorodinsky then patted while Diebold took another card, then faced Gorodinsky's bet.
"I started with one, two, four, I am such a fish," Diebold declared in table chat. Once he called and Gorodinsky tabled the 
for a Badugi, Diebold added "I suck".
The remaining Badugi hands brought not much of an excitement. Brian Rast three-bet against Gorodinsky and patted versus two, bet and took it down.
