Mader Call

[user66118]
[user66118]
Phil Mader came into the pot with a raise to 1,200, and Dewayne Blaha made the call in the next seat over. Action was on our latecomer, Tim Olsen, and he moved all in for a total of 7,725. Mader went into the tank for several minutes before making the call, while Blaha ducked out. With Olsen's tournament life on the line, both players seemed reluctant to table their cards. After 10 or 15 seconds of staring at each other, Mader finally cracked first.

Showdown:
Mader: {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}
Olsen: {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}

The board ran dry for the all-in Olsen, coming out {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {7-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. Failing to improve his suited ace, Tim Olsen is headed to the rail early.
