Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) is getting ready to debut a brand new event!

Tomorrow, Wednesday, June 7 at 2 p.m., Event 20: $1,500 Badugi will get underway at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 7, but if you don't know how to play, fear not as we've put together this primer to get you up to speed and ready to compete.

Badugi is a four-card triple draw lowball poker variant that isn’t as well-known as other games, but those who learn and play it often characterize it as a fun alternative poker game filled with action.

A lot of players enjoy Badugi because it has a fairly simple objective and, because the format and goal differ from many other variants, there are different strategies employed.

Although the exact origin of the game is unknown, many believe it originated in South Korea in the latter half of the 20th century, while others claim it was popularized in Canada in the 1980s where it was called “Off Suit Lowball”.

The name allegedly comes from the Korean word baduk or badug which refers to a black and white pattern, with badugi a common name for a black and white spotted dog. The board game Go was called baduk in Korean.

Livello 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a hand between Michael Lang in the small blind, Chris Hunichen in late position and another player in the big bind.

With 14,000 in the middle, the board read J♥4♦9♦ and action checked over to Hunichen who bet 13,000 which saw only Lang call.

Lang bet out 25,000 on the 3♣ and Hunichen meant to raise, but did not grab enough chips so it was ruled a call.

Lang checked on the 7♥ river where Hunichen bet 63,000, leaving 1,000 behind. Lang moved all in and Hunichen shook his head and tossed in the final chips.

Chris Hunichen: A♦J♣
Michael Lang: 4♥4♠

Lang's set of fours was good enough to take down the pot and Hunichen exited the tournament.

At another table, Frank Lagodich took his seat in the field.
