Madsen Doubles Up His Short Stack

Jeff Madsen got short stacked early on, but is managing to hold on.

After the cutoff raised to 400 preflop, Madsen pushed all in for 1,975 more from the button. He got the call and the hands were shown.

Cutoff: {Q-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Madsen: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

When the board ran out {J-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, Madsen held on and built his stack back to 5,000.
