Nível 9

Dustin Dirksen, runner-up in the $10,000 championship edition of this event last year, was sitting on a short stack as he raised from the big blind after an opponent on the button limped in. The button called as they saw a flop of 2♣6♠J♠.

Dirksen continued with a bet and the button called. Both players checked the 7♦ turn.

The river came the K♥ and Dirksen led out again. The button gave the decision some thought before flinging in a call.

"Two pair," Dirksen announced, turning over A♠10♣K♣2♥ for kings and deuces as he took in the pot to climb back up near the starting stack.

Nível 9

Max Pescatori bet on a flop of 8♠2♥10♠ before a player in the hijack raised. Another opponent in the cutoff moved all in for less and Pescatori called.

The turn came the Q♦ and Pescatori check-called a bet to build a side pot. Pescatori again check-called on the K♥ turn.

His opponent turned over A♣10♣3♥7♣, but Pescatori had 8♥2♠3♦6♣ for two pair as both players mucked, the cutoff heading for the rail.

"Badugi," Pescatori said. "I'm preparing for the Badugi tournament."

"I've never played this game before. This is my first time. What better way to learn than to pay $1,500," Steven Buckner said as he raised from the button.

A player in the big blind called as the saw a flop of 2♠3♣5♠. Buckner continued with a bet and the big blind called. The turn came the 3♥ and Buckner bet again.

The big blind called as the river came the 3♥. Buckner bet for a third time and his opponent stuck around.

Buckner opened up Q♥A♣3♠2♣ for a full house and the big blind had Q♠Q♣A♦6♦ for a low to chop the pot.

"Can you believe this shit? They're not teaching me," Buckner said following the hand.

On a board reading 3♣Q♥2♥A♠, Bryan Micon called a bet from his opponent to see the 9♣ hit the river.

Action checked through to showdown and Micon's opponent asked, "Got anything?"

Micon responded, "Not much" as he turned over the 10♠10♠8♠8♥. Not much was good enough to take the pot, though, as his opponent quickly sent his cards into the muck.
