It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Madsen World

On a flop of {6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Jeff Madsen led out and his opponent raised behind him. Madsen called. The turn then brought the {3-Diamonds}. Madsen shoved all in and was called.

Madsen turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, but his opponent had {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} -- a nice turn card for him. He'd made threes full of sixes.

"Wow, I had you on the flop," said Madsen.

There was one more change of fortune to come, though, in the form of the {6-Clubs} on the river. Madsen had stolen the hand back with a better boat.

The table strangely did not react at the wild river card, instead sitting in a kind of stunned silence. Finally, one player said "That's the grossest hand I've ever seen."

"Poker's easy," cracked Madsen as he scooped the chips. Madsen now has 44,000.
