Jeff Madsen Eliminated in 12th Place ($14,030)

[user75032]

A short-stacked Jeff Madsen ran into some bad luck after the dinner break and as a result is the 12th-place finisher. Madsen and James McWhorter got all in pre-flop, with Madsen barely having McWhorter covered. Madsen had all babies, {a-Spades} {2-Clubs} {4-Spades} {7-Hearts} , against McWhorter's {2-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {k-Clubs} . McWhorter immediately flopped the joint, {a-Diamonds} {q-Spades} {j-Spades} , then faded Madsen's low and flush draws, {q-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} .

That hand crippled Madsen to just 30,000 chips. He survived one all-in confrontation, but was taken out a few hands later by Michael Chow. Chow tabled {a-Spades} {a-Diamonds} {k-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} , a hand in great shape against Madsen's {a-Hearts} {k-Spades} {q-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} . Madsen managed to turn two pair, {6-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {q-Hearts} , but the board paired on the river {6-Spades} to give Chow aces and sixes.
