Level 20

The action was picked up after the final draw and it was Adam Friedman that fired out a bet. Phil Hellmuth whirled his cards directly into the muck, but Carol Fuchs opted to make the call for her last few remaining chips. Then, Fuchs tabled her {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}/{8-Spades}{6-Spades} for an eight-six low and a three-card seven-five-deuce-Badugi and scooped the entire pot and survived her all-in.
