Eric Crain opened with a raise. Next to act was Mike Matusow on the button. He made it three bets. Action folded back around to Crain, and he moved all in. Matusow called.

On the first draw, Crain took two, and Matusow took three. On the second draw, both players took one. On the third draw, both players took one again.

Matusow: {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Crain: {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}

Matusow looked first. He pulled the {9-Spades} to complete both a nine-five low and a nine badugi. Crain pulled the {9-Hearts}, and that was only good to make a ninety-seven low. He hit the rail in seventh place and collected $32,474 for his efforts.
