Untimely Fold for Madsen

WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Madsen opened the pot with a 1,500 pre-flop raise from middle position. Action then folded around to a player in late position (LP) who reraised, making it 3,000 to go. Next up was an unknown player on the button who kicked it up once more, upping the ante to 9,000. Madsen got out of the way and the LP player moved all in. The button called and tabled a pocket pair of kings and was in solid shape against his opponent's pocket queens; Madsen told the table that he folded pocket fours.

After the crazy pre-flop action was complete, the dealer spread a {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop, which would've given Madsen quad fours! The turn and the river filled out inconsequentially, {J-Hearts}, {10-Spades}, and the button player's kings held up to win the 20,000+ pot.
