Madsen Loses on River

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

After the player under the gun limped, Jeff Madsen raised to 625. It folded around to the big blind who three-bet all in for 3,400. The initial limper folded and Madsen hit the tank. When he came to his decision he threw in the necessary chips to call and was happy to find out that his {A-Clubs}{j-Hearts} was ahead of the {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} of his opponent.

The flop was {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and the turn was the {9-Hearts} which gave the opponent a straight draw with four extra outs, plus the original six that would pair his hand. The river was the {6-Diamonds} and filled in the gutter-ball draw to double him up and cripple Madsen, who now has just 2,000.
