For the first time in World Series of Poker history, a bracelet is set to be awarded in a stand-alone badugi tournament in 2023. While the game has been spread at the series as part of dealer’s choice events, it has never been the lone game featured in an event prior to this year. The tournament attracted an impressive turnout of 516 players to create nearly a $689,000 prize pool. We caught up with 2022 WSOP POY award winner Dan Zack on day 2 to ask for his thoughts on badugi's debut as a bracelet event, why new players should try out the game, his thoughts on trying for back-to-back POY titles and more.
