Madsen Raises River

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

A player sitting under the gun opened the pot to 295, and the action folded to 2006 World Series of Poker Player of the Year Jeff Madsen, who three-bet to 700. His opponent called, and the flop came down {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The turn was another nine - the {9-Spades} - and Madsen called a 325-chip bet from his opponent. The river was the {2-Hearts}, Madsen's opponent led for 325 again, but this time Madsen raised to 1,175. Madsen's opponent mucked, and he pulled in the pot.
