Kevin Saul Eliminated in 2nd Place ($30,823)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Kevin Saul - 2nd Place
Kevin Saul - 2nd Place

Kevin Saul had the button, and raised to 52,000. Jeff Madsen made the call, the dealer fanned {2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, and the three-time WSOP bracelet winner rapped the felt. Saul continued for 63,000, Madsen check-raised to 174,000, and Saul called.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, and Madsen tanked for a bit before reaching for chips. He plopped 207,000 in front of him, and using two hands, Saul double-fisted a raise of 462,000 across the yellow betting line.

"All in," Madsen said so quietly that our reporter barely heard him, and by the time the dealer tossed the red all-in circle in front of him, Saul had already committed a stack, signifying a call.

Saul: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Madsen: {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Saul was an 82 percent favorite to double through and retake the chip lead, but the river was a heart - the {3-Hearts} - and Madsen won the hand with a flush.

Saul will walk away with $30,823 for his runner-up finish - his first five-figure score of 2014, and his second at Borgata in the last seven months.
