Level 15

Stud

Jeff Madsen began the day as the chip leader, and he has remained a powerful player throughout Day 2 as well. Just now, Madsen won two decently-sized pots to move to 230,000 in chips. Both occurred during the round of stud at his table.

Madsen: / /
Leah: / /

Picking up the action in this first hand on sixth street, Madsen fired a bet and Mike Leah was in the tank. After a minute, Leah called, and then each player received his final card. Madsen bet, and Leah called.

Madsen showed and stated that he began with rolled up kings. Leah mucked, and Madsen won the pot.

Tommy Hang: / /
Sebastien Sabic: / — fold
Madsen: / /

On this second hand, Sabic had to bring in with the up, and then Madsen completed the bet. Hang raised, Sabic folded, and Mdsen called.

On fourth street, both players checked to see fifth, which is where Madsen led with a bet. Hang called. On sixth, after Madsen paired his jack, Hang folded to a bet, and Madsen won the pot.
