Madsen Hits One-Outer To Scoop It All
In a preflop three-bet pot, Jeff Madsen, Martin Zamani, and David Yan met in what would become one of the biggest collisions of the tournament so far.
With around 40,000 in the middle and 
on the felt, Madsen bet 19,500 from the small blind. Zamani shoved for 54,400 from under the gun and Yan reraised all in from the cutoff. Madsen smiled, double-checked his hole cards, and then called for his 119,300, saying, "Alright."
Zamani: 
Yan: 
Madsen: 
"Just put a heart out, to make it easy," Zamani wished.
The 
was a brick and Yan was closing on scoring a double knockout.
But the 
hit the river and suddenly it was Madsen who got all rights to claim the monster pot, without having to share any piece of it. Zamani was eliminated and Yan, who was close to getting to one of the top chip counts in the room, dropped to 36,000 instead.
