Chung Doubles Through Madsen; Nearly Stacks Him

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Stephanie Chung raised to 40,000 from early position and Jeff Madsen called from the big blind.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Madsen checked. Chung bet 30,000, Madsen shoved, and Chung called with the smaller of the two stacks by a narrow margin.

Stephanie Chung: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}
Jeff Madsen: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Both players flopped trip aces with a queen and would split the pot if nobody improved. The {3-Diamonds} hit the turn to give Chung aces full of threes to take the lead and the {4-Spades} river was no help to either player. Chung took the pot to double up, leaving Madsen extremely short.
