Event #44: $50,000 Poker Players Championship

Badugi

Now the Badugi round has come and gone with only two pots going to the draw. Here's the first:

Mike Gorodinsky raises to 300,000 on the button, and Jean-Robert Bellande three-bets to 450,000. Gorodinsky calls, and they both draw one card. Bellande bets, and Gorodinsky calls. They draw one apiece again, and it checks through. They're both still on the draw for the last round. Bellande likes what he sees, and he bets 300,000. Gorodinsky quickly raises to 600,000, and Bellande instantly reraises to 900,000 total. Gorodinsky seems to realize things have turned sour, but he puts the last bet in the pot to see what's what.

Bellande shows      badugi to win the pot.

Jean-Robert Bellande - 9,910,000
Mike Gorodinsky - 2,690,000
