Madsen Busts for Now

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Jeff Madsen
Jeff Madsen

Xixiang Luo and Aaron Duczak just re-entered and Jeff Madsen will likely do so soon after he was just eliminated. Alfredo Vega Meister limped in from the button and Daniel Rezaei raised the pot to 3,000 in the small blind. Madsen got his 5,000 and change in from the big blind and was called two ways.

Rezaei and Vega Meister checked down the board {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Rezaei announced ace-jack, then turned over {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Madsen had already left his seat while Vega Meister showed his {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}, and Madsen's {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} were revealed by the dealer.

Aleksandr Denishev raised the button and Jasper van 't Hoff three-bet out of the small blind for 8,500, which Denishev called. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} and van 't Hoff bet enough to set Denishev all in, the Bulgarian called for the last 12,700.

Aleksandar Denishev: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Jasper van 't Hoff: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Rezaei Busts Duczak

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Aaron Duczak was all in for 6,000 and picked up two callers in Danny Covyn in the big blind and initial raiser Daniel Rezaei. The remaining two active players got their stacks in after the {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} turn and the following cards were tabled.

Aaron Duczak: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{X-}
Daniel Rezaei: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Danny Covyn: {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}

The {10-Diamonds} on the river gave Rezaei a full house and Covyn was left with very few chips, while Duczak joined a growing list of recent casualties.
