Chen Takes Hits in Badeucey
Badeucey
Frank Kassela selected Badeucey.
Daniel Idema opened for a raise in the cutoff, and Bill Chen three-bet from the small blind. Idema called, and both players drew two. Chen kept the betting lead, with Idema calling again, and the players each drew one. Chen slowed down by check-calling the big bet round, and he drew a final card while Idema patted. Again, Chen check-called.
Idema showed 
for an eight both ways. Chen mucked.
The next hand, Chen opened for a raise on the button and Shane Abbott defended his big blind. Abbott kept just two, tossing three, while Chen tossed two. Abbott came out with a check-raise, though, and Chen called. Now it was Abbott leading the draw, as he took one while Chen took two again. Chen again called a bet, and both players drew one. This time, Chen mulled over Abbott's bet, staring at his own hand for 30 seconds before mucking.
