Madsen Doubles Off Paredes
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In a blind versus blind battle, Victor Paredes raised enough from the big blind to put Jeff Madsen all in, and Madsen called for 1,070,000.
Jeff Madsen: 5♣5♦ 
Victor Paredes: A♠5♥
Madsen was ahead with his fives as the 9♠4♣2♠ flop gave Paredes a straight draw, but he improved no further on the 6♥ turn or 10♦ river and Madsen doubled up.
A few hands later, Madsen raised to 85,000 under the gun and Paredes three-bet to 240,000 in the hijack. Madsen four-bet to 595,000 and Paredes quickly folded.
