Canadian Gold Pass Winner Steven Maddison Flips for Tournament Life
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Steven Maddison, who won a Gold Pass via a CNE Second Chance freeroll, got his last 20,500 all in preflop and was flipping for his tournament life against Grant Wang.
Steven Maddison: A♥K♠ 
Grant Wang: J♠J♦
Maddison was in need of improvement and got it when the A♠2♠10♥ flop paired his ace. The Q♥ turn gave both players straight outs, and the J♣ completed the board on the river. Wang made a set of jacks but it was no good as Maddison made a Broadway straight.
Wang was left with 22,000 after but lost it all a few hands later.
Prior to coming to Las Vegas, Maddison did an interview with PokerNews Ontario Ambassador Kyle Anderson.
