Jeff Madsen Eliminated

Did you see that!?
Did you see that!?
Jeff Madsen moves all in for his last 700 from middle position. A player behind him makes a pot sized raise and the small blind calls.

The flop comes {9-Spades} {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} . The small blind checks and the player in middle position moves all in. The small blind folds.

Madsen: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {6-Spades} {4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

Madsen is behind, however, when the {Q-Hearts} falls on the turn he makes a full house. Things are looking good for Madsen, after all hitting a two outer is always nice.

That is, until your opponent does one better...

The {A-Clubs} hits the felt on the river, giving his opponent the better full house. Madsen makes his exit from the tournament area.
