Madsen Cracks Fricke's Pocket Rockets

Shamus

It was a limit hand, though, thus limiting Gobboboy's pain. We picked up the action on the river.

With an eight and two deuces on the board, Jeff Madsen and Jimmy Fricke capped the betting on the river. Madsen showed {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

for eights full, besting Fricke's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

. Madsen now is up to 9,000, while Fricke has 16,000.

Interesting Ruling

[user38368]

Antonio Esfandiari is only dealt one card by the dealer. Andy Bloch tells the dealer to "hold on," but the dealer doesn't hear until the betting starts. The floor is called and the decision is made to fold Antonio's one card and continue the hand, rather than call the hand dead.

Level: 3

Blinds: 75/150

Ante: 0

No-Limit

[user38368]

We are now on the no-limit half of the level. Don't get dizzy yet - there's a long way to go.
