Kenny Hsiung completed and was called by Jeff Madsen and John Holley. Action checked to the latter on fourth street and he bet. Both opponents called.

Holley fired a second barrell on fifth street which folded out Hsiung but Madsen stuck around. Madsen called another bet on sixth street and then bet again on seventh street after Holley checked.

Holley ended up making the call, but immediately wished he didn't.

"I knew I should have folded," he said, after seeing that Madsen had made an eight-high straight and seven-five low.
