Badugi

For the final draw Moulder took two more while Smith once again stood pat.
Matthew Smith: 6♠5♥3♦A♣
Patrick Moulder: 4♥3♣
Smith had a monster with his six-badugi and Moulder would need to catch a near-perfect runout to score the knockout. Moulder first drew a 2♠ meaning he was live to win the pot should he catch a diamond ace, five or six. He caught a 9♦ for his last card making an inferior nine-badugi as Smith scored another full double up.
