Madeira Scores Double-Up
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Pedro Madeira was all-in from the cutoff for 38,000 with the bubble approaching, and PokerStars Ambassador Simon Wiciak three-bet to 100,000 from the small blind, forcing out the big blind.
Pedro Madeira: A♣2♠
Simon Wiciak: A♥Q♠
Madeira was in trouble with his ace dominated, but the K♦2♥8♦ flop put him into the lead with deuces.
Nothing changed on the 6♦9♦ turn and river and Madeira secured a timely double-up.
