Madsen's Stack Clipped

An unknown player in the hijack seat opened shoved all in for his last 8,850. Action folded around to Jeff Madsen in the small blind, who made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Madsen: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Madsen was in bad shape and the {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Spades} board kept his opponent in the lead for the double up.

Madsen was left with 17,000 following the hand.

Cordero and Cody Clash

Alex Cordero
Alex Cordero

With tables breaking down at a rapid clip, Jake Cody has now been moved to Alex Cordero's table, which means two of the biggest stacks in the room are now sitting right across from one another. Just now came a hand in which it appeared the two might be clashing over a huge pot, though things ended a bit shy of that happening.

The hand began with Cody raising to 1,800 from the hijack seat, then Cordero pushing out stacks of black (100) chips to reraise to 4,600 from the small blind. Cody studied both his own and Cordero's stacks, then called.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}, and Cordero again pushed out columns of black chips for a bet of 6,800. Cody paused a beat, and called the bet.

The turn then brought the {10-Diamonds}. This time Cordero was digging into his light blue (500) chips and betting 11,000, and as soon as he did Cody folded.

Conway Takes Out Two

We caught up with the action after all the chips were already in the middle and hands were revealed. Thomas Conway had the largest stack and two other opponents were all in against him.

Conway: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Opponent #1: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Opponent #2: {A-}{K-}

Conway had his opponent crushed and the {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board changed nothing. Conway scooped the sizable pot and eliminated two players in one fell swoop.

Conway, who has already made two final tables this year, is up to 55,000 and is looking to make another deep run.

Watching Out for Crowe

A player in middle position raised to 1,700, and Owen Crowe called from the button. The short-stacked player in the big blind then reraised all in, and when the original raiser bumped it up to 10,000, Crowe let go of his hand.

The short-stacked player showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and his opponent {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}, and the aces held to lessen our field by one.

"I don't want to deal with him," said the winner, wagging a finger in Crowe's direction after the busted player left, a post-hand explanation of his reraise to isolate. Crowe nodded and smiled while the table eyed his stack, all silently noting that he alone at the table has the capability of knocking out all of the others.
