The seat where Jeff Madsen was sitting is now occupied by a new player. Since that table has had yet to break, we can only assume the short-stacked Madsen has been eliminated.

We don't know exactly how the action went, but we know after a series of back and forth raises Jean-Robert Bellande was all in and at risk preflop.
Bellande:
Opponent: 
The board came 
and Bellande doubled up. Bellande is still very low and is going to need to turn it around if he wants to make a deep run in this event.

Bill Chen opened to 425 from under-the-gun and action folded all the way around to Gavin Smith in the big blind.
"Please give me seven-four of clubs," Smith said.
"Why, so you can raise?" Chen replied.
Smith took a peak at his cards and called.
"I do not have seven-four," Smith laughed.
The flop came 
and Smith checked. Chin rapped the table with his fist for a check behind.
Both players checked the 
turn also, however, when the 
completed the board, Smith fired out 475.
"I call," Chen announced.
Smith flipped up 
for kings and sixes, which was good and Smith scooped the pot.
Smith is sitting on about 10,000 while Chen is still one of the big stacks in the room with 20,000.
