Madsen's Heater
Jeff Madsen, the 2006 World Series of Poker Player of the Year, is on a serious heater. At one point today, he was down to 1,400 chips, but moments ago, we walked by his table in the Silver Section of the Brasilia Room to see that his stack has ballooned to over 30,000 chips.
"I've won six of the last eight hands," he told us.
When Madsen won his first bracelet in 2006, he was only 21 years and five weeks old, making him the youngest player to do so at the time. He found himself at three more final tables that same summer, and won a second bracelet as well. Since 2006 however, Madsen has only reached two WSOP final tables (one in Vegas), and in 2011, he only earned $33,218 in live tournaments.
There's definitely no quit in Madsen though - he still grinds the majority of the events here at the WSOP, and is determined to recapture some of the magic he experienced in 2006. He's off to a great start today, and we'll see if he can parlay it into a deep run.

Marked Deuces
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
Play stopped at Table 40 moments ago, because a player noticed that a card was marked. It was a deuce - one of the more important cards in Omaha Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better. Players at the table then began sharing theories about a situation at another table in the Brasilia Room.
According to a player who identified himself as "Darren," Table 61, which is now broken, had to stop nine times earlier because of marked cards. To no surprise, the marked card was always a deuce. At one point, a floor person stayed at the table and examined all four cards from each player after they mucked. No one was caught to our knowledge, but the players at Table 40 are still talking about the issue.
Dags Finds a Call
The board was 
when we reached the table, and Jeffrey Lisandro tossed a bet out into about a 6,000-chip pot. John D'Agostino tanked for nearly half a minute before calling, and a third player tank-called as well.
"I have three aces," the third player announced, fanning 
.
D'Agostino showed 
as well, followed by a meaningless 
and 
. Lisandro sweated his cards one last time before finally letting them go.
