432A Badugi Poker

The (L) event is hand for hand now so about to bubble someone and make 440 others quite happy! GL to you all!

Been some crazy action in the (L) event as well, lot of capping every street with 3 and 4 players the whole way. Just watched one hand where someone is 4 betting into a pat hand with a limper to the showdown.

I find it hard to believe so many people just have no idea about hand strength in badugi but I see it day in and day out.

Pokerstars Anders Berg (Donald) finally getting a hand, doubling up and making friends. He's still SS with 4500 chips but at least he got some breathing room as he caught a nice 532A

FossilMan and barrg1 are both out of the $75K event. Greg finished 43rd and Barry 52nd.

4 other pros holding their own atm with 3 in the top ten but Berg is currently 35th out of 35 left.

It's 6 hours into the Pokerstars SCOOP Badugi event and just before the break George Danzer became the first PSPRO to go out in the money in any of the events taking 292nd place winning $21.31.

Nice paydays are just around the corner in all three events though as each event drew enough entries to push the prize pools up. The (L) event has over $36,000 in prizes with $6K+ to 1st. (M) event just broke the min hitting $54,000 and $10K to 1st and the (H) event hit a sweet $103,500 with over $28,000 going to 1st!

BTW - in the second comment there I meant to mention that the pat hand that the 4 bet/draw one guy was betting into...was a J987r or J986r.

You have to have luck in badugi.

What an asshole lol...some railbird says to Anders

RB:"hey donald
big fan man
BIG FAN"

Donald:"Hi"
RB:"is Donald your real name?"

The (M) event just went hand for hand with Fishhunter666 riding the bubble. 56th place stands to win $220.52 in the $162 event.

With two players more than half the remaining field left to go in the (H) event the players are on a 5 min break.

5 PSPROs remain amongst the 28 players left in the $103,500 Pokerstars SCOOP Limit Badugi event. Sebastien Sabic (Seb86) sits at 1st with 30,000+ chips. Goerge Lind III (Jorj95) in 4th with 19K. Next PSPRO is Kristian Martin (CharismA3)in 6th with 18K. LadyMaverick aka Vanessa Russo sits 8th with 17,000 and Anders Berg (Donald) has been playing his ass off with no cards to claw his way from dead last to 17th place with just under 10k chips.

AJB444 in the (L) and Fishunter666 in the (M) each win bubble boy!

*Note* typo in the 3:57 post Fishunter666 is the correct name.

Vanessa Russo (LadyMaverick) 4 bets a 53Ax from UTG preflop as she gets in a hand with the SS sitting in the CO. Vanessa shows no letting up, firing at every street as they both draw 1. Shes got the cards and pressuring the SS is the play here for sure but she comes up empty handed when her 53Ax runs into 42Ax at the showdown.

Anders is out in 22 place, 10 spots out of the money and Vanessa and Kristian Martin are neck and neck for dead last in the "Main" (H) Badugi event.

Vanessa goes out 21st(OTM) CharismA3 sits dead last still with Sebastien Sabic (Seb86) and Goerge Lind III (Jorj95) currently running 1st and 2nd respectively. I missed the hand Vanessa went out on but from what I saw of her play she was either playing too wide a range of starters or just not catching the cards to make her hands.

Sorry I'm getting tired going to try and hold out as long as I can but I'm beat/fried.

The $103,500 (H) event has reached the money with Kristian Martin (CharismA3) sneaking his was from 20th to the first cash spot of 12th place earning him $2,846.25. George Lind has slipped all the way to 9th position and Seb86 is in 2nd.
