Madsen Kicks Hawkins to the Rail
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jeff Madsen bet 6,600 from under the gun on a board of Q♦8♥10♥10♣ and a player in middle position called. Maurice Hawkins then raised to 26,500 on the button and Madsen moved all in.
The middle-position player folded, but Hawkins committed his last 28,000 and turned over 10♦2♦ for trip tens. Madsen, though, had A♥10♠ and was ahead with his ace-kicker.
"Queen, eight, or a deuce," Hawkins pleaded, but the dealer instead turned over the 3♥ on the river to send Hawkins to the rail.
"Looked like a deuce," a tablemate said as Hawkins made his exit.
