Crain Takes the Long, Lonely Walk of Loneliness

Pot Limit Omaha:

We just witnessed a huge pot-limit Omaha pot. It began when Eric Crain raised only to have Jeff Madsen three-bet 3,225. Crain, who started the hand with around 17,000, responded by making it 9,675 and Madsen simply moved all in. Crain didn't seem excited about it, but he made the call nonetheless.

Showdown
Crain: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Madsen: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

"Wow, you have me drawing dead," Crain explained. While he wasn't dead, he did need to improve against Madsen's hand. The {10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop did give him a gut-shot straight draw, but neither the {K-Diamonds} turn nor {6-Clubs} river would complete it.

"Good game," Crain said before taking the long, lonely walk of loneliness out the door.
