In the first hand Madsen check-called the whole way on a board of {Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

. Madsen held just ace-high with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

but Kostritsyn had paired up with his dominated {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{5-Spades}

.

Madsen was left with just 20,000 chips and he got them all in preflop next hand with {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

. Unfortunately for him he'd run into the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

of Kostritsyn. The board ran out {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

and Kostritsyn takes out another one as Madsen hits the rail in 3rd place for AU$40,000 in prize money.
