Jeff Madsen Eliminated In 68th Place ($6,159)

Jeff Madsen open raised all in from the button for a total of 21.7K. Justin Bonomo, who had just arrived and taken his seat in the small blind, checked his hole cards and without knowing the exact amount of Madsen's bet said "I raise the minimum." The player in the big blind, Raja Kattamuri, asked for a count. Madsen's bet was counted out and Bonomo's bet was determined to be 18.7K more or 40.4K total. Kattamuri thought for a while before declaring himself all in. Without getting an exact count, Bonomo made the call. The players turned up the following.

Madsen: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Bonomo: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Kattamuri: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

Madsen commented that he liked his chances and he liked the flop even more. It came down {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. The turn card, the {3-Clubs} was a blank. The river card came down the {8-Hearts} giving Kattamuri the winning flush. Kattamuri pumped his fist in triumph and Madsen fell to the floor. Bonomo was stunned but Madsen had a smile on his face as he got back to his feet. Bonomo is now crippled with about 30K chips and Jeff Madsen has been eliminated.
