Madsen Movin' Up

We caught up with the action just as the dealer was dealing the flop in a raised pot between a player in middle position and Jeff Madsen in the cutoff.

The flop came {10-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and the middle-position player checked. Madsen bet 3,700 and his opponent string-called after some deliberation.

The turn fell the {4-Diamonds} and Madsen's opponent checked again. Not slowing down, Madsen cut out a bet to 8,100 and placed it into the middle. His opponent checked his hole cards one last time and rapped the table.

"Nice hand," he said and mucked.

Madsen is up to 143,000.
