Madsen Bamboozled by Overbet

Jeff Madsen was eliminated from the tournament just before the first break in a hand that saw an opponent orchestrate a massive preflop overbet with pocket aces.

Dealt pocket queens, Madsen opened the pot with a 275 raise and got two callers before said overbettor moved all in for ~8,000. "I didn't believe him," Madsen told us afterwards, hence the call.

Unable to get a reprieve from the community cards, Madsen joined his fam on the rail and will likely try his luck again on Monday.
