Costly Mistake

Jeff Madsen
Jeff Madsen

With a {2-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop waiting patiently on the felt, Jeff Madsen led out for 1,825 and his neighbour made it 4,500. A player two seats along them moved all in for what I would estimate was 12,000, triggering Madsen to isolate the all-in player with an all-in of his own.

A few eyes widened as the cards were revealed, Madsen's {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts} in dominating shape against {K-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, and even more so once the {8-Clubs} turn and {Q-Spades} river hit the felt.

It later emerged that the departed wasn't aware of the raise before him, but, nevertheless, his mistake cost him his tournament life and rewarded Madsen with an new and improved stack of 35,000 (although that's an estimate as he was slow in scooping up the chips. Fast rapper; slow stacker. Yo.)
