Jeff Don't Get Mad, Son

"Dear God... Please help me dodge an ace just this once."
"Dear God... Please help me dodge an ace just this once."
Jeff Madsen and a single opponent traded preflop raises until all of the money found its way into the middle; Madsen's with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} and his opponent's with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}.

Miles ahead before the flop, Madsen cringed when the {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {A-Spades} flop delivered an ace for his opponent.

The {2-Spades} fell on the turn, making a chop possible. Madsen's calls for a five fell on deaf ears as the river delivered the {8-Hearts}.

"Good game," Madsen said before exiting the tournament area.
