Madsen Collects Deeb's Bounty

Anthony Thompson

Level 11 : 200/400, 50 ante

After four initial limpers, Shaun "Ddtgg" Deeb raised to 1,830 from the cutoff and was called by both blind's before Jeff "NedrudRelyt" Madsen limp-jammed for 60,015 from under the gun.

Action folded back to Deeb who was the only player who called, putting his 13,020 stack at risk.

Shaun "Ddtgg" Deeb:
Jeff "NedrudRelyt" Madsen:

The flop came pairing Madsen's ace but it also gave Deeb a braodway draw. The turn wasn't a card Deeb wanted to see as it gave Madsen the nut flush draw and the river was worse as it ended his tournament.

Ian "apokerjoker2" Steinman Looking to Crush Another WSOP Online Bracelet Series

Anthony Thompson

Level 8 : 120/240, 30 ante

One WSOP Gold Bracelet. Three final tables. Fifteen cashes. That was the body of work of Ian "apokerjoker2" Steinman in last year's WSOP.com Online Bracelet Series, one that would be the envy of nearly everyone who fired in last year's version. Steinman, who already has been seeking action on some bracelet bets for this year's series, will be looking to duplicate his many deep runs and massive success this year.

Steinman's heater began last year with two final tables early in the series, with a fifth-place performance in Event #7: $800 NLH Knockout Deepstack for $24,578, followed by a sixth-place finish two days later in Event #9: $1,000 NLH 6-Max for $30,995. Steinman's bracelet would be earned late in the series, when he took down Event #27: $400 NLH Freezeout for $110,557 after beating Japan's Satoshi Tanaka in heads-up play. Steinman used these performances to take down the $100,000 Leaderboard competition of the WSOP.com portion of the series, which sent an additional $18,000 his way.

Steinman doesn't appear to be resting on his laurels in preparing for a summer of poker, however, already getting in some prep work by winning the Benny Binion Summer Shoot-Out at the South Point Poker Room for $65,000 after a three-way deal. As much as winning his first bracelet meant to Steinman, the quest for another crusher of a summer is on for the hyper-talented Steinman.
