The Millionaire Maker

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Jonathan Dimmig won the Millionaire Maker of the World Series Of Poker 2014 and we just saw him in action on a four-way {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop. A bet of 1,200 was made and two opponents as well as Dimmig called. On the {8-Clubs} turn, the action was checked to him and his all in for more than 4,000 didn't receive a call.

Laak Coolered, Then Frozen

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Phil Laak - Busted
Phil Laak - Busted

Phil Laak opened to 450 from under the gun and Gabriel Nassif three-bet, and action folded back around to Laak who slid the rest of his chips in the middle, around 2850. Nassif quickly put calling chips out and tabled his hand.

Nassif: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Laak: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Laak was in bad shape and stood up to leave, until the {q-Clubs} was shown as the door card. Laak said "wow" and then heartbreak. The dealer slid out the flop revealing the {a-Spades} and {8-Diamonds} right behind the queen. The {k-Spades} on the turn and {6-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing and Laak fell victim to poker's evil side.

Madsen Parked

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Jeff Madsen
Jeff Madsen

After two limpers entered the pot in front of him, Jeff Madsen did the same from the cutoff, only to see Chris Park squeeze from the button with a raise to 525.

The limpers left the scene rather quickly and Madsen then took his time deliberating before cutting out a three-betting stack of 1,800.

Park wasted little time in shipping the rest of his stack forward, and Madsen essentially beat him to the pot with his call, putting his own stack at risk in the process.

Madsen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Park: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The two were flipping for all the marbles, and when the flop rained down {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs} Madsen took the lead with his pair of kings. The pro's expression remained stoic, however, as he knows better than most that fortunes can turn in a flash.

Turn: {9-Diamonds}

Madsen's flinched at the sight of a two-out disaster which left him drawing dead, before standing up to make his exit as the meaningless river card came the {8-Diamonds}.
