No Laughing Matter

Jeff Madsen, who is dressed up as a Jester today as a result of a prop bet he made with Gavin Smith and Joe Sebok, wasn't smiling after a hand in which he mucked his cards at the showdown.

On a board showing {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, Madsen bet 6,000 and his opponent called. The {Q-Clubs} fell on the river and both players checked. Madsen's opponent showed {J-Spades}{8-Spades} for a Queen-high straight and Madsen mucked, saying "I had a lot of outs."

The hand left Madsen with 55,200 chips.
