After Eric Polirer was knocked down to 120K, he folded the first two hands of Badugi to drop down to 60,000. But then Jerry Wong folded his small blind in the next hand to get Polirer back to 80,000.

In the fourth hand of Badugi, Polirer moved all in for 80,000, and Wong called.

Draw #1:  Wong drew two cards, and Polirer drew one.

Draw #2:  Wong drew two cards, and Polirer drew one.

Draw #3:  Both players drew one card.

Jerry Wong:  6s5cAd  (Ks)  (three card 6-5)
