The Mad Kings

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jeff Madsen
Jeff Madsen

Jeff Madsen opened to 9,000 from late position and watched as the big blind player three-bet to 25,000.

Madsen pondered his options for a few seconds before electing on a four-bet to 43,000, and his opponent also took his time to study the situation before he flatted to see flop fall {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}.

First to act, the big blind player checked to Madsen, before calling off his 120,000 or so when Madsen shoved all in.

Madsen: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {q-}{q-}

Madsen held the higher end of a cooler, and when it was all said and done the turn ({8-Diamonds}) and river ({4-Spades}) changed nothing.

"Good game," offered the downed player, while Madsen and Jason Koon commiserated on the latter's uncanny ability to be at the table whenever Madsen runs hot.
