Just minutes after doubling through Carter Swidler with QQ>JJ, Jeff Madsen found himself in another huge hand.
Lee French was all-in preflop and both Jeff and Erik Lemarquand (button) were in for the flop of 
and action we missed created a huge side pot between Erik and Jeff for the turn 
. Jeff was first to act and decided to bet his whole stack – 135,500 tournament chips.
Erik went in the tank, eventually folding 
face up. Jeff couldn’t beat Lee for the main pot, as his 
, was soundly beat by Lee’s pocket 
and nothing changed when the river 
was dealt.
So… Jeff Madsen stacked a huge side pot to take him to near the 400K mark… while Lee stayed alive with a key triple up… and Erik mourned his lost chips… but also breathed a sigh of relief at the chips he didn’t sacrifice in the hand.
