Madsen's Day Toughening

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jeff Madsen had a hot middle third to his day, but things have cooled off quickly here as the night has gone on. We just watched Madsen involved in a pot three-handed as the dealer spread out a {8-Clubs} {J-Spades} {3-Clubs} flop. The player in the big blind checked, Jeff Madsen (who was likely the preflop raiser) put out a bet of 3,135. Allen Bari tanked and folded next door, but the big blind came along with the call.

The turn came the {9-Clubs}, and it went check-check to the {10-Diamonds} river. With one last check in front of him, Madsen took his cue to bet 7,325. His opponent didn't waste much time calling, and Madsen knew he was likely in trouble. "Sixes?" he half-asked.

The big blind showed up {7-Spades} {7-Hearts} for the bottom straight, and it was good.

From his high point of around 70,000, Madsen has tumbled back down to 27,000 or so.
