Jeff Madsen Doubles Up

2-7 Triple Draw:

Jeff Madsen and Matt Glantz bet and raise to get Madsen all in before the first draw. Madsen drew two and Glantz drew one. Madsen then stood pat for the rest of the hand, while Glantz drew one and then one more.

Before the final hands were revealed, Madsen flipped over 8-7-5-4-2 to show Glantz what he had to beat. Glantz turned over an 8-5-4-3 and needed a deuce or a six to eliminate Madsen. Glantz said, "Sorry buddy" and flipped over an ace to give Madsen a scare.

Madsen doubled up to around 200,000.

Eli Elezra Doubles Through Tom Dwan

Pot-limit Omaha:

It's been a rocky start for "durrrr." After opening the pot from UTG for 21,000, Eli Elezra moved all in for 76,000 and Dwan made the call.

Elezra {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {K-Spades}

Dwan {2-Spades} {3-Spades} {5-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

The flop was {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Hearts} , Dwan flopping two pair. The turn was the {5-Spades} , but the river was the {Q-Hearts} and Elezra made a better two pair, queens and deuces to take it down and double up to 164,000.

Final Table Bios: Seat 8, Jeff Madsen (149,000)

Jeff Madsen
Jeff Madsen
Jeff Madsen had quite a coming-out party at the World Series of Poker two years ago, where he made four final tables and won two bracelets, which led to him being crowned 2006 WSOP Player of the Year. At the time he was a film student at the University of California, Santa Barbara and had taken out a loan from his parents to play a few events. At the time of his first bracelet win, he was the youngest WSOP bracelet winner in history, though that record has since been broken by both Steve Billirakis and Annette Obrestad. This is Madsen's eighth WSOP cash and his fifth final table.
