Kirk Brown

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a heads-up flop of 10♦6♥K♥, all of the chips between Jeff Madsen and another player found their way into the middle, with Madsen covering.

Player: 9♠8♣7♣2♥ All in
Jeff Madsen: A♥Q♠10♥6♠

Madsen was in the lead with his two pair and nut flush draw, but his opponent still had a lot of stright outs with his inside wrap. The turn Q♦ further improved Madsen to three-pair and the river K♣ scored him the pot while his opponent hit the rail.

With two players seeing a board of 8♠4♣8♦ in a single-raised pot, Jeff Madsen checked from the big blind and Joao Simao bet 900 from the hijack. Madsen raised to 2,200 and Simao made the call.

Madsen bet 5,300 on the 7♦ turn and was called by Simao.

On the 3♥ river Madsen checked and Simao shoved for around 8,000. Madsen went deep into the tank for several minutes before making the call.

Simao could only show a bluff with J♣10♣9♦3♦ while Madsen had kings up with K♦K♣Q♠4♦ to take the pot.
