The flop was {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. The player in the small blind checked, and so did the player in middle position. Maddah bet 2,500. The small blind folded, but the other player stuck around with a call. The {q-Clubs} came on the turn. It checked to Maddah, who bet 5,000. That was enough to make his opponent fold.
