Madsen Doubles Hershler

donpeters

Eric Hershler moved all in for 25,800 from middle position and action folded to Jeff Madsen in the big blind. Madsen made the call, claiming that Hershler talked him into it. He held the {A-Spades}

and Hershler held the {A-Diamonds}

.

The flop came down {Q-Spades}

and Hershler picked up a pair of queens to improve even better against Madsen. "Spade!" yelled Madsen.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts}

and wasn't going to give Madsen runner-runner flush. "Uhh, misdeal!" he yelled out.

The river completed the board with the {J-Clubs}

and that was it, Hershler doubled up. Madsen was left with 30,800 and all he could say was, "Oops."

Lee Finds Value in Sign of the Devil

[user75032]

Doug Lee hasn't fared as well the last hour or two as he did in the beginning of the day and all day yesterday. But he's back to 135,000 after flopping a set of sixes, holding {6-Diamonds}

on a

flop. Lee bet 14,000 when the turn came the {j-Diamonds}

and was called. His opponent also called another 25,000 on the {5-Hearts}

river, but couldn't beat three sixes.

Rubin Checks the Nuts Twice

[user75032]

Paul Rubin is still near the top of the counts. It helps when you flop the best hand, then improve by turning the nts. In a limped three-way pot, Rubin was first aggressor on a flop of {10-Hearts}

. He opened for 5,500 and was quickly raised by the player to his left. Rubin called.

Both players checked the {K-Clubs}

turn and the {5-Diamonds}

river. Rubin turned over {Q-Diamonds}

for the nuts, a Broadway straight. His opponent flashed {Q-Clubs}

and then mucked.

O'Shea Ousted

[user75032]

John O'Shea was sweating a snooker bet for most of the afternoon. He won his snooker bet but he won't be winning this tournament. He's out after getting almost all of his chips in pre-flop with {K-Clubs}

against pocket jacks. O'Shea never improved.
