Boat Over Boat Crushes Bloom

[user67765]

Hold'em:

Jeff Madsen and Tony Bloom have recently tangled in a huge pot in a round of Hold'em. Madsen had raised preflop with calls out of the blinds from Bloom and Dan Shak.

The flop landed {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

and play checked to Madsen, who fired a continuation bet. Bloom then check-raised and Shak stepped aside. Madsen made the call.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

and Bloom led out before Madsen raised. Bloom made the call.

The river brought the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

and the action became crazy! It was capped in a raising war as both players appeared to be confident they were in front. Bloom tabled {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

for a rivered full house, eights full of sevens, however Madsen took down the pot with {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

for nines full of sevens.

Madsen is up to 27,650 with Bloom back down to 14,300.
