Jeff Madsen Eliminated in 12th Place ($8,215)
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Sergio Martinez limped from early position and Jeff Madsen potted it off his short stack. Giuseppe Maggisano repotted, causing Martinez to fold and Madsen to get the rest of his chips in the middle.
Jeff Madsen: A♦K♥J♦3♠
Giuseppe Maggisano: A♥A♣J♥4♠
Maggisano had the hand to beat, as he woke up with aces and a suit.
The flop rolled 6♦9♥6♠ which was no help to Madsen. The turn was the 10♦, opening up Madsen to a straight draw and a flush draw. His hopes were dashed, however, when the river paired the board with the 9♣.
Madsen won't be earning his 5th bracelet today but it was a tremendous run regardless.
