Chan Pats Best

Badugi

Ian Chan raised under the gun, Shaun Deeb called on the button, and Amir Nematinia called in the small blind. Each player drew one card on the first draw, after which Nematinia led out.

Both Chan and Deeb called. Nematinia and Chan stood pat while Deeb still drew one. Nematinia bet again, Chan called, and Deeb followed suit.

All three players stood pat on the final draw, after which Nematinia fired another barrel. Chan decided to raise, folding out Deeb. Nematinia snap-called, but his 6♠4♣3♥A♦ was no match for the 5♦3♠2♣A♥ of Chan, who had made the second nuts.
