Corson Collects Chips
![[user198174]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Jeff Madsen started out a recent hand by making it 14,000 preflop. Michael Corson thought that was too cheap and raised to 33,000. Adam Kagin on the button opted to call.
A 
flop was spread out and action was on Corson who tapped the felt for a check. Kagin bet out 40,000 and Corson made the call.
A 
on the turn brought two checks, but a 
on the river allowed for Corson to bet out 64,000. A bet Kagin did not want to see. After a few moments Kagin folded and Corson was awarded the pot.
