Gamble Time!
The action started with Jeff Madsen opening to 450 from middle position. He was called by the player on the button, before the player in the small blind moved all in for 3,575. Jason Somerville was on the big blind, and after a slight pause, opted to move all in for around 9,500 in chips.
“Let’s race,” said Madsen, calling the all-in, and having both players covered.
Madsen: 
Somerville: 
Opponent: 
“That’s not a race,” sighed Somerville, as the cards were exposed.
The board ran out 
to give the all-in player a much needed triple up, as Madsen and Somerville had to be content with a chop.
“30 minutes of poker.. Get it in.. Either have 18k or bust.. It doesn’t matter,” said Somerville after the hand.
“That was probably the worst result,” added Madsen.
It seems like both players don’t mind committing all their chips, so it will be interesting to see how they both fair as they attempt to progress through the day.
