Madsen Finds a Lucky Chop

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Jeff Madsen opened from the button and the big blind defended. The flop fell {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and the big blind checked to Madsen who continued for 425. The big blind check-raised to 1,500 and Madsen put in a three-bet to 2,700. The big blind just called this time.

The turn was the {9-Spades} which slowed down the action as both players checked. The river brought the {10-Clubs} and the big blind checked again. Madsen tapped the table as well and the big blind tabled {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

"I don't like that turn card very much," he said. Indeed it was a bad turn card as Madsen flipped over {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} to escape with a chop after his opponent flopped two pair.
