Jeff Madsen finds himself back with around 70,000 chips in front of him after being down to 21,000. When asked about how he chipped up, he said he has not played any major hands and that he has just been steadily chipping up with a handful of small pots.

Table 477 was having a ton of fun until the table just recently broke. With players such as Anton Morgenstern, Denis Strebkov, JC Tran, and Yuri Dzivielevski, there was not only some action but also a lot of dialogue to go with it.
Fortunately for the players at the table, they got new table draws that are certainly likely to consist of less aggressive opponents. Of the entire table full of players, Morgenstern was able to fill up nearly two racks full of chips and bring over a quarter-million chips to his new table, likely bringing the title of chip leader with him as well.

. Jeff Madsen was in the cutoff and checked to Robert Mizrachi on the button who fired a bet of 25,000 into the middle. With 21,000 behind, the bet effectively put Madsen to a decision for the rest of his chips.
Madsen went into the tank for several minutes and ultimately was not able to commit for his tournament life, pushing his cards forward to the muck as Mizrachi took back his bet and scooped in the pot.

Ardit Kurshumi was all in preflop for his last few chips with 
against Gabriel Andrade's 
and the board ran out 
to end his tournament life.
Kurshumi was very emphatic at the time of his bust out about the fact that the hand just witnessed was not the one on which to report. That hand, he said, "was special."
Action folded to Kurshumi on the button and he made it 1,600 to go. Karen Sarkisyan defended his big blind and the flop came 
-rainbow. Sarkisyan check-raised Kurshumi's continuation-bet of 2,400, committing the rest of his chips. Kurshumi quickly called.
Karen Sarkisyan: 
Ardit Kurshumi: 
As Sarkisyan tabled his hand, Kurshumi asked to the table, "what am I fading?" as he tabled his top set.
Andrade was on his direct right and responded, "nothing right now."
The turn came 
and Andrade amended his statement: "Now you're fading an ace."
He was indeed fading an ace and was unable to fade it when the river brought the prettiest card in the deck, at least for Sarkisyan.
Moments later, Kurshumi was out of the tournament exclaiming that it was all good. With his head high and a smile on his face, he stated that he had taken 18th in this event last year and was going to re-enter and come back and win it.

Daniel Negreanu was just eliminated from the tournament and overheard saying, "(I'll be) right back with 20k in chips!"
"Get that on the blog," Brian Hastings said from an adjacent table. "Daniel Negreanu dusts off his first buy-in."
"And I doubled up, too!" Negreanu added as he walked off, presumably right back to the cage to buy in again.
Meanwhile, Tim Rutherford was in the process of raking in his newly collected chips. When asked, he was gracious enough to provide information on the hand.
He said that Negreanu had raised to 2,000 and he three-bet to 6,500. Negreanu called and the flop came 
A series of bets and raises got all the chips in and the two tabled their hands.
Rutherford had 
and Negreanu had worse diamonds. The turn brought the to give Rutherford the nut flush and Negreanu was drawing dead, ending his tournament life for bullet number one.
