Madsen Inching Back to Even

The Great White Hope
The Great White Hope
Jeff Madsen, two-time WSOP bracelet winner and poker's favorite white rapper, has just taken down a recent pot that kicked him back up to 12,500 in chips.

The hand began with a raise to 300 from a player in middle position. Action then folded around the table to Madsen in the big blind who chose to make the call. The flop came down {9-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} and Madsen check-called a 500 bet from his opponent.

The turn delivered the {7-Diamonds} and Madsen check-called once more, this time for 1,000.

The {8-Spades} was the last card off the deck and Madsen open-fired a 1,750 bet. His opponent took one last look at his cards before eventually tossing them into the muck.
