When the Best Hans Hold Up
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
After a min-raise and a call went into the pot (we missed the preflop action but saw those bets being dragged in), Jeff Madsen and Hans Winzeler checked the

fall on fourth street.
Winzeler checked to Madsen again and flatted after the three-time WSOP bracelet winner bet out for 24,000.
On the 
river Winzeler bet about 45,000 and Madsen looked him up with 
, only to knock the table in acknowledgement when Winzeler tabled the 
.
Although both players had found top pair on the flop, the pot was played cautiously through the river, which is understandable with the money bubble looming.
