Canadian Gold Pass Winner Steven Maddison Flips for Tournament Life
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Steven Maddison, who won a Gold Pass via a CNE Second Chance freeroll, got his last 20,500 all in preflop and was flipping for his tournament life against Grant Wang.
Steven Maddison: A?K? 
Grant Wang: J?J?
Maddison was in need of improvement and got it when the A?2?10? flop paired his ace. The Q? turn gave both players straight outs, and the J? completed the board on the river. Wang made a set of jacks but it was no good as Maddison made a Broadway straight.
Wang was left with 22,000 after but lost it all a few hands later.
Prior to coming to Las Vegas, Maddison did an interview with PokerNews Ontario Ambassador Kyle Anderson.
