Jeff Madsen Eliminated

Jeff Madsen recalled a hand to us where he was crippled in a multi-way all-in. He held pocket jacks and came over the top of two early-position players holding pocket fives and pocket sevens. However they were all crushed by a late-position player who woke up with pocket aces. Apparently a fifth player had folded ace-king.

A few moments later, Madsen pushed his last 1,600 from under the gun with {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, but the player in the big blind made the call with {A-Spades}{9-Spades}. The flop made things interesting as it came {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} to give Madsen outs with his flush draw, but the {K-Spades} on the turn and {3-Spades} on the river sent Madsen to the rail.
