Fass Leaves Madsen with Crumbs

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

PokerNews was waved over to a table where a massive hand was in process between four-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Madsen and Seth Fass.

The board showed 4?8?6?10?3? with a bloated pot and Madsen was all in for approximately 40,000 against Fass, who had position and would’ve been at risk with a call if he lost the hand.

Fass was deliberating his next move before he eventually made the call and he promptly tabled his hand.

Seth Fass: Q?Q? All in

“Good call,” said Madsen, who saw Fass' pocket queens before showing Ax and mucking his hand.

While Madsen's second card is unknown, Fass recounted some of the action for PokerNews.

Fass said he raised preflop and got four callers, including Madsen. Fass’ three other opponents had cleared out by the turn, where Fass said Madsen led into him with a 7,500 bet. Fass said he flatted Madsen’s bet on the turn, which set up the river action of Madsen moving all in and Fass making the call with his pocket queens.

Fass scored a huge pot to boost his chip stack, while Madsen’s stack was decimated.
