Madsen Moves Out

Kevin Taylor

We caught the action between Jeff Madsen and his opponent on the flop, which read {a-Spades} {9-Spades} {q-Diamonds} . Madsen's opponent checked, and Madsen fired 2,250 into the pot which had around 3,000. His opponent check raised to 5,100, and Madsen tossed in the call. The turn brought the {5-Clubs} , and his opponent fired out 11,000. Madsen only had about 14,000 left, and he took his time in deciding for essentially his tournament life. After about 90 seconds of thinking, he slid the rest of his chips in, and was quickly called.

Madsen: {a-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs} {q-Spades}

Madsen had turned two pair, but it would prove to be his doom, as his opponent had flopped a dominant top two pair. The river came the {6-Hearts} , which didn't help Madsen, who shook his head and made his way to the exit.
