Kurtzman Chipping Up
Badugi
Eric "The Donkey" Kurtzman took down two hands in a row and is cruising along with a mountain of chips in front of him. The first of the two hands saw three-way action with a player opening from under the gun. Kurtzman called from the cutoff, as did the player on the button. All three players drew one card and the player under the gun bet, which Kurtzman and the player on the button both called. All three players drew one card again on the second draw, and action checked through. The final draw saw all three players take one card for the last time this hand, and action checked to Kurtzman, who bet. The player on the button called and the original raiser folded from under the gun.
Kurtzman tabled 
and his opponent mucked as he raked in the pot.
On the following hand, Kurtzman opened from the hijack and got called by the players in the small and big blinds. The small blind drew two cards and the big blind and Kurtzman both drew one. Action checked to Kurtzman, who made a continuation-bet. Both players called, and draws again went two, one, one. The small blind checked and the big blind put in a bet. Kurtzman raised, prompting the small blind to fold. The big blind called and both players stood pat on the final draw.
On the last street of action, the big blind checked and Kurtzman put in another bet. The big blind sent his cards into the muck and Kurtzman told him he made a good fold as he added more chips onto his stack.
