Madsen Making Moves
Recently short stacked Jeff Madsen has moved all in three times in the past couple of orbits, but has received no takers and continues to take down a handful of blinds and antes.

Jeff Madsen Eliminated in 7th Place ($36,308)
Jeff Madsen's dream of winning his third bracelet, and first for six years, had ended. He'd shoved three times in recent orbits, and on the fourth time he was called.
The action folded around to Jon Cohen on the button and he raised to 33,000. Madsen was in the big blind and moved all-in for 264,000. Call.
Madsen: 
Cohen: 
Madsen winced when he was called but must've been happy not to be a big dog in the hand.
The board ran 
to miss Madsen's over cards, despite picking up a draw to the world on the turn.

Michael Corson Eliminated in 6th Place ($43,393)
With players taking turns stealing the blinds and antes we didn't expect anything different when Jonathan Cohen opened for 33,000. Action folded around to Michael Corson who moved all in for around 200,000. Cohen called immediately and flipped over 
. Corson countered by flipping over 
, which at the moment wasn't up to snuff.
Three cards were placed in the middle of the felt for the flop and they came out 
. Corson needed an ace, and an ace badly if he wanted to continue his run. A on the turn, and a 
gave the hand to Cohen, who's kings were best.

David Chase Eliminated in 5th Place ($64,555)
Jon Cohen is on a roll and has found a lucky hand. He just took care of David Chase to make this a four-handed affair.
The action folded to Cohen on the button and he opened to 33,000 and called when Chase shoved from the small blind for another 277,000.
Cohen: 
Chase: 
The board ran 
. Cohen's lucky hand flopped a set, turned a sweat, and rivered a full house.
Cohen had a ton of small denomination chips after this hand. The break's coming up in a few minutes and we'll verify his and all the other player's chip counts then. His rush could well have taken all the way to the chip lead.

Not Much Happening
Level 5
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Losing three players on the trot like that has meant our remaining players are fairly deep right now. We're not going to see much three-bet shoving for a while.
Adam Kagin is our shortest stack and still has over 30 big blinds.
Flack Gets There
It seems like every other hand Layne Flack is dictating the action preflop. This recent hand was no different when we found him making it 45,000 preflop. Adam Kagin was the only one willing to pay the price from the big blind and both players were witness to a 
flop. It was here that both players checked.
A on the turn brought a repeat of action with both players knuckling the felt for a check. The 
river though saw a 50,000 bet from Flack and a quick call from Kagin. Flack immediately flipped over for a rivered set of sixes while Kagin mucked his hole cards.
