Mikkel Madsen has just been eliminated from the tournament by new big stack Jonathan Karamalikis.

On a board showing {6-Clubs}

, an unknown opponent fired a 1,600 bet that was called by Karamalikis before Madsen moved all in. The original bettor called and so did Karamalikis. What happened next was a little confusing.

Karamalikis thought that both of his opponents were all in, not realizing that the unidentified opponent still had about 2,500 in chips in front of him, so he tabled his cards -- {6-Spades}

fell on the turn and Karamalikis fired a 1,200 bet, prompting the third party to send his aces into the muck.

At the showdown, Madsen revealed {J-Clubs}
