When the Best Hans Hold Up

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Hans Winzeler

After a min-raise and a call went into the pot (we missed the preflop action but saw those bets being dragged in), Jeff Madsen and Hans Winzeler checked the {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop to see the {5-Clubs} fall on fourth street.

Winzeler checked to Madsen again and flatted after the three-time WSOP bracelet winner bet out for 24,000.

On the {8-Hearts} river Winzeler bet about 45,000 and Madsen looked him up with {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, only to knock the table in acknowledgement when Winzeler tabled the {A-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

Although both players had found top pair on the flop, the pot was played cautiously through the river, which is understandable with the money bubble looming.
