Madsen Collects From Hachem in Razz
Razz rarely stimulates the imagination, but one of the final hands of razz round was a little intriguing between Joe Hachem and Jeff Madsen.
Hachem was showing and Madsen as Madsen's river card was accidentally dealt face-up. After some discussion with floor staff, play continued with Madsen playing it face-up.
Hachem checked and Madsen bet 5,000. Hachem called but Madsen revealed for an eight low, which Hachem could not better.

Hachem bubbles as we're now in the money!
