Charles Joo limped from middle position and Russell Clayton limped behind from the hijack. Jeff Madsen then raised to 3,800 from the small blind and Iury Wolf called in the big blind. Joo folded, but Clayton called for a three-way pot.

Jeff Madsen bet pot for 12,200 on the A♦10♦8♣ flop and Wolf shoved for a bit more. Clayton got out of the way and Madsen quickly called to put Wolf at risk.

Iury Wolf: A♣8♠5♠3♦2♦ All in
Jeff Madsen: A♥Q♣J♦5♦3♣

The K♥Q♦ runout left both players with a flush, but Madsen's was higher and Wolf was sent to the rail.
