Photo: Shooting Star Jeff Madsen (center) was at the featured table when he busted.
Brandon Crawford raises under the gun to 23,000, Shooting Star Jeff Madsen moves all in from middle position for 141,000, and Crawford tanks for a while before he calls with [KsQd].
Madsen turns over [KhQh], and it’ll be a chopped pot unless one of them makes a flush.
The flop comes [As10d2s] — no hearts for Madsen, but the two spades give Crawford a freeroll to a backdoor flush draw.
The turn is the [8s], and a couple of players at the table start talking about the potential flush.
The river card is — the [3s].
There is a loud reaction from the fans on the rail, and a couple of players as well, as Crawford rivers a spade flush to win the pot and eliminate Jeff Madsen from the tournament.
For busting a Shooting Star, Crawford receives $2,500, a bounty medallion, and an autographed bounty t-shirt.
Brandon Crawford – 495,000
Jeff Madsen – Out in 45th Place ($20,890)
Madsen was the last remaining Shooting Star in the field, and this is the first time in WPT history that none of the Shooting Stars have reached Day 3.
