Big Blind: A♦8♦

The PokerNews team heard the yells from an outer table and ran over to catch the action as it ended. The table relayed the hand.
A player from early position announced "I am not the dab man," in an inside joke only that table was in on before moving all in for 42,000. A player in the cutoff made the call for their last roughly 30,000 and it folded around to Daniel Wojcik in the small blind who called with a slightly bigger stack to put both players at risk.
Cutoff: 8♥8♠
Early Position: A♣Q♣
Daniel Wojcik: A♦A♥
When the flop came 8♣3♦2♦, it was the eights for the cutoff that hit the miracle card to turn the tables on the hand. The turn fell the 3♠ and Wojcik would need the one last ace to win the hand and eliminate his opponents. The table erupted in shock as the A♠ peeled off on the river to give Wojcik the one out he needed and send both players to the rail in dramatic fashion.

The turn provided no help to Madsen as he was left drawing dead and exited the tournament area before the river card hit the felt.
