Pedigo Makes the "Super Nuts"

Level 18

Badeucy

Benjamin Miner bet the first draw and Ryan Pedigo called in the big blind.

Both players stood pat and Miner bet again. Pedigo then raised and Miner called.

Both players patted again on the third draw and Miner checked to Pedigo who bet. Miner called and Pedigo showed 8?5?4?3?2? for a low and Badugi as Miner mucked.

"No wonder you called Badeucy, you're an expert. That's what you do, you call the game then make the super nuts," tablemate Andrew Kelsall said.

"Usually it's the other way around," Pedigo replied.

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Julien Martini: XxXx/4?J?7?2?/Xx
Jacob Hamed: XxXx/3?5?J?J?/Xx
Walter Chambers: XxXx/7?4?A?7?/Xx

Jacob Hamed raised, Walter Chambers reraised, and both Hamed and Julien Martini called.

Chambers bet on fourth, Martini raised, and both opponents called. Chambers bet on fifth, Hamed called, while Martini called all in.

"I hate you Shaun," Martini told tablemate Shaun Deeb.

"I'll help you sweat it out," Deeb said, coming over to give Martini a shoulder rub as Hamed and Chambers built a side pot.

Chambers bet on both sixth and seventh, with Hamed calling both bets. Chambers showed A?A?3? for trips and a low, while Hamed had 6?5?3? for two pair and a low.

Martini turned over 4?3?2? for a seven-low and chopped the main pot with Chambers, while Chambers and Hamed chopped the side pot.

"My chances were not so good," Martini added.

Doug Polk's Team Purchases What Will Become the Largest Poker Room in Texas

Level 19
Doug Polk
Doug Polk

Earlier this month, thanks to an unfavorable city vote, Doug Polk was unsuccessful in his bid to open a massive poker room in a town near Dallas. But his team of investors, including poker vloggers Andrew Neeme and Brad Owen, are back and ready to take over what will soon become the largest card room in Texas.

Polk, who is playing in the Hustler Casino Live Million Dollar Game this week, announced during Wednesday's HCL stream that his team has purchased Rounders Card Club in San Antonio. The group already owns The Lodge Card Club in Round Rock, a suburb of Austin, and that room is currently the biggest in the Lone Star State with over 70 poker tables.
