Madsen & Racener Swap Stacks

John Racener opened for 24,000 and Jeff Madsen (by the by, things are getting easier for the announcers now that there are only two Jeffs in the field rather than three) called in the big blind.
Madsen checked the 
flop and called a 35,000 bet from Racener before both players checked the 
turn. The river was a second ace, the 
this time, and Madsen now paused, chewing on the collar of his T-shirt, before betting out 62,000.
Racener tanked up, completely motionless. He briefly started to riffle some chips but soon slowed back into stillness once more, as though he'd suddenly thought the riffling might give something away. Eventually he folded, and with 280,000 remaining he has been knocked off the second spot in the chip counts. Madsen moved into that spot instead - on 370,000.
