During Badugi, A.J. Kelsall raised to 40,000, and Ryan Hoenig called from the big blind.

Draw #1:  Hoenig drew two cards, and Kelsall drew one. Hoenig checked, Kelsall bet 40,000, and Hoenig check-raised to 80,000. Kelsall called.

Draw #2:  Hoenig drew one card, and Kelsall stood pat. Hoenig checked, Kelsall bet 80,000, and Hoenig called.

Draw #3:  Hoenig drew one card, and Kelsall stood pat. Hoenig checked, Kelsall bet 80,000 (leaving him with 60K behind), and Hoenig went into the tank.

After a while, Hoenig laughed and said, “This hand is definitely reportable.”

Hoenig eventually called with a three-card 5, saying, “You deserve this one.”

Ryan Hoenig:  5c2dAs  (Qd)
A.J. Kelsall:  6c5d3s  (8c)

Unfortunately for Kelsall, he was pipped once again, bluffing with a three-card 6. Hoenig won the pot, and Kelsall was left with less than a single big bet.

Ryan Hoenig  –  1,800,000  (23 BB)
A.J. Kelsall  –  60,000  (<1 BB)
