Madsen's Main Event Hopes Are Still Alive

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jeff Madsen
Jeff Madsen

We saw the TV cameras swarming Table 370, so we made our way over and discovered 2006 World Series of Poker Player of the Year Jeff Madsen all in for his last 195,000 or so and at risk against Hans Winzeler.

Winzeler: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Madsen: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

It was a flip, and all Madsen had to do to double was hold. That didn't happen though as the {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop gave Winzeler the lead with a pair of aces. Madsen sat quietly as the dealer burned and turned the {8-Spades}. Not a ten, but still helpful as it gave him a gutshot straight draw. Madsen stared at the board and watched the {9-Hearts} peeled off.

"Yes," he whispered as he pumped his fist and shot up from his chair. He then made his way over to his supporters on the rail for a round of high fives.

"It's the beer," Madsen said with a smile as he retook the lead and was pushed the double.

Pahuja Up then Down

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Mukul Pahuja is playing plenty of pots at his table.
Mukul Pahuja is playing plenty of pots at his table.

Mukul Pahuja bet 185,000 on the river in a recent pot against Jason Weber, who was under the gun on a board of {6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Weber tossed out a quick call, but Pahuja had {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a set and dragged the hefty pot.

The next hand, Pahuja was in early position and called an under-the-gun open before seeing Michael Stembera shove all in for 170,000. The opener followed the blinds into the muck, but Pahuja snap-called, tabling {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. Stembera had a dominated hand: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, but he found an eight on the {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Spades} flop. The {10-Diamonds} helped Pahuja's equity with a straight draw, but the {a-Clubs} wasn't enough improvement to take the pot.

Waxman Flops the Nuts

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Matt Waxman
Matt Waxman

Matt Waxman raised to 20,000 in early position, Matthew Hruska called out of the small blind, and the flop fell {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Hruska checked, Waxman continued for 26,000, and Hruska check-raised to 77,000. Waxman tank-called.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, both players checked, and the {10-Diamonds} completed the board. Hruska checked again, Waxman tossed out five T25,000 chips, and Hruska called.

Waxman turned over {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for a king-high straight, and Hruska mucked.

"Not the best runout for my hand," Waxman said, dragging the pot.

Picking up the action after the turn of a {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Matt Haugen bet 50,000 from the small blind. Martin Jacobson called in early position, Vladimir Bozinovic folded in middle position and the {3-Hearts} river completed the board. Haugen bet 150,000 and Jacobson quickly called.

Haugen showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for king high, while Jacobson tabled {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} to win the pot.

A player raised, David Einhorn three-bet to 70,000 and Garrett McFarland moved all in for 430,000 chips. The action then folded to Trevor Martin in the big blind and he moved all in as well. This got the initial raiser and Einhorn to fold creating the following showdown.

Martin: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
McFarland: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Martin knocked another player out.

Benger Continues to Climb; Herm Falling

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Mark Herm raised to 21,000 in middle position, there was a call on the button, Griffin Benger called out of the small blind, and Roman Valerstein defended his big blind.

The flop fell {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}, Benger led out for 37,000, and only Herm called. The turn was the {2-Clubs}, both players checked, and the river was a third spade - the {8-Spades}.

Benger fired out another 90,000, Herm went into the tank, and eventually the American slid his cards into the muck.
