A-5 Triple Draw
Daniel Negreanu put in a third bet before the draws on the button and got action from the cutoff. Both players drew two and checked before Negreanu was revealed to be behind in the draw taking two again. The cutoff bet and Negreanu called. Both players drew one and Negreanu called a final bet.
The cutoff sloppily tossed into the middle.
"I have no idea what that is," Negreanu observed as cards faced in several directions.
When it was revealed to be a six, Negreanu mucked, preserving just 1,100. That went in the next hand in badugi, with Negreanu pulling two the whole way and showing down with a laugh and failing to win against a nine-badugi.

Badugi
Paul Volpe entered the Mixed Triple Draw late after cashing in the $100k event and he's carried his wave of success to this event. Volpe has already notched a third-place finish in the $10k Super Turbo Bounty.
Volpe keeps the foot firmly on the pedal here in the triple draw as he demonstrated a few moments ago in a round of badugi.
The first hand saw Volpe (small blind) three-bet his right-hand opponent Alex Simma. Simma called and changed two while Volpe patted. Simma called additional bets on the following two streets, drawing for one. He folded on the river, leaving a nice chunk for Volpe.
Unfortunately for Simma, that wasn't the only bite Volpe took from his stack. In a three-way pot against John "Miami" Cernuto and Volpe, Simma had a made-hand pre-draw and stood pat. Volpe and Cernuto were drawing for one and Volpe raised Simma's bet after the first draw. Both of his opponents called.
Cernuto drew one and gave up after Simma bet and Volpe called.
Volpe and Simma both patted again and Volpe raised Simma's bet. Simma paused for a while but then couldn't talk himself out of the way. He called only to see Volpe turn up the nuts with .
