Jeff Madsen: Prop Bet Loser

Jeff "The Jester" Madsen
Jeff "The Jester" Madsen
Jeff Madsen was the unfortunate loser in a three-way WSOP prop bet between himself, Gavin Smith, and Joe Sebok. Based on a point system that measured their success in the preliminary no-limit hold'em events (as well as two "joker" events of their choice), Madsen came up short and per the terms of the bet, was forced to play his Main Event Day 1 in a jester suit.

"The Jester" was just involved in his first big confronation of the day. A late position player raised to 400, Madsen called from the cutoff, and the big blind called. The flop was {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. The big blind checked, the late position player checked, Madsen bet 1,000, the big blind folded and the LP player called. The turn was the {10-Hearts}. The LP player checked, Madsen fired out 2,000 and the LP player called. The river was the {4-Diamonds}. The LP player checked again, Madsen bet 5,000 and his opponent called.

Madsen showed {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} for a set of jacks and his opponent mucked. After the hand, he was up to 29,000 and looked just a bit more comfortable in his felt get-up.
