Badugi, Baby

Level 4

Scotty Nguyen was down to just 500 lonely chips when his final hand started, a badugi hand. Nguyen was all in before the draw, up against two players. He took two-one-one on the three drawing rounds, while his eventual knocker-out took one card twice, then stood pat.

At showdown, Nguyen revealed that his last draw had betrayed him, showing {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. His opponent tabled a strong {2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, easily enough to send Nguyen packing, baby.
