Rollercoaster Ends for Madsen

Out
Out
Jeff Madsen was briefly in possession of a 65,000 stack after pushing Mohammed Barkatul off a pot by moving all in on the river of a {K-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} board, leaving Barkatul with 37,000. However, just a few hands later and he was doubling up a rallying David Williams thusly:

Williams: {4-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Madsen: {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {A-Diamonds}

Board: {6-Spades} {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

"That's for knocking over my chips earlier," said Williams, in much better spirits now. Incidentally, Mohammed Barkatul narrowly missed disaster there -- he was telling anyone who'd listen that he'd passed a pair of queens with a king.

--------------------

And just a few hands after that, Williams finished the job. "Yeah, and I got the rest of 'em!" he said, as Madsen hurriedly left the table.

Madsen: {5-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}
Williams: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}

Board: {8-Spades} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades} {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts}
