Madene Rivers a Full House Against Wiciak
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
There were around 70,000 chips in the pot in a board of 10♣6♥3♠3♦ when Nolan Madene checked, and Simon Wiciak bet 55,000. After some deliberation, Madene called.
A 6♣ on the river double-paired the board and Madene checked once again. Wiciak didn't need to think for too long and elected to check back, then saw the bad news as Madene tabled 5♥3♥ for a full house. The reigning champion still has a very healthy stack of around 475,000, which is almost 100 big blinds.
